Perfect Way to Teach Multicultural Mythology Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2023

As an educator of Egyptian and Norse Mythology I am always looking for works that are indeed informative and educational for our young readers. This literary tapestry provides these readers (ages 9-12) with a solid background of the central figures that play vital roles, such as Ra and Anubis, in Egyptian Mythology and Odin and Thor in Norse Mythology. The quick presentation of each story (10 minutes) does not overwhelm the reader. Yet the author provides details such as the discussion of the nine realms the first being Asgard, where Odin reigns. I found this work both interested, well done and researched, and entertaining. I would highly recommend it for the chosen age group and for adults not familiar with these mythologies.
