Recent praise:

National Parenting Press Gold Award Winner

"Great for storytelling and reading aloud, this handsome, large-size picture book retells Homer’s epic of Odysseus’ perilous journey home with an immediate, fast-paced narrative. The text is beautifully framed with crisp, brightly colored, mosaic-style illustrations of the heroes and monsters, rendered in watercolor, gouache, and gold ink. For younger readers, this is an exciting introduction to the classic story." — Booklist

"Both Lupton and Morden bring their long and prestigious careers as storytellers to their retelling of the Odyssey–with impressive results. The power and drama of this classic tale have been retained, but the sentence structure has been simplified in such a way as to maintain the flow of the story yet be accessible to younger readers. This excellent source for introducing the timeless tale to a new generation should be considered a first purchase for most collections." — School Library Journal
