Description
Publisher's Description of Z is for Zeus: A Greek Mythology Alphabet
Whose face launched a thousand ships? Who dropped an apple to win a
race? What creature has the head of a woman, the body of a lion, the
wings of an eagle, and always wakes up on the wrong side of the bed? The
Oracle knows and so will young readers after they encounter the strange
creatures, exotic gods, and exciting stories in Z is for Zeus: A Greek
Mythology Alphabet. Human endeavors are often at odds with the whims and
the will and the ways of the gods. Although they're up in Olympus
without any cares, they just can't stop meddling in human affairs. Helen
Wilbur, who wrote the lively M is for Meow: A Cat Alphabet, brings the
same wit and wisdom to explaining Greek mythology. Colorful,
entertaining artwork from Victor Juhasz, the illustrator behind D is for
Democracy and R is for Rhyme, keeps pace with the lively subject
matter.
