Much like Matt Cleyton’s Mythology

If you’re looking for a great book on all type of mythology for kids, Matt’ Book is Guide to Greek Mythology, Egyptian Mythology, and Norse Mythology is easily the best one out there. It’s written in a style so simple and clear that children should have no problem learning it, but the voice is also very colorful and suggestive. It inspires as it tells.

Great overview

Great overview of the Norse Egyptian and Greek pantheon. There's great content and it's told in the form of stories so it maintains interest and isn't overly academic. But you will still walk away with a good basic working knowledge of the three mythologies it covers.

Essential guide

Forever desired to hear on Mythology. I understood while explaining by this Audiobook that Greek Mythology is way, way, way more complexed than I first considered it was. This Audiobook sums up the basics and stark osseins while leaving you an love for Greek myths and enthusiasm to get more Audiobooks to know more of the details.

Enjoyable to listen to

This book was a perfect joy to listen to. It was natural to follow and the stories were interesting. After hearing, I went out and bought the paperback, therefore I can use it as a reference in the future, just don't just get the book.It was good listening overall,

Where did the time Go?

Thoroughly enjoyed the book(s).

There was some freedoms given to thoughts of Atlantis but it was purely appreciated as the point was to consider all meanings and explanations.

I listened so enthusiastically that I finished this FAST!!!! Very enjoyable.

Loved the book especially the Greek Mythology

Any additional comments?

Greek Mythology will forever have a special place in my heart. It never tires me when the topic is Greek Mythology, I love hearing about this topic and watching some movies related to the Greeks and Romans. This book is teaching and inspiring. It will tell you to all major forms within Greek Mythology and few of the tales connected with the Greek's God and Goddesses and amazing of their heroes.
