(4) 4-6 Don't Know Much About series. Illustrated by Sergio Ruzzier. The question-and-answer format of this series detracts from the magical quality of the myths themselves, but some of the background information, the sidebars that describe word origins, and "mythic links" between cultures are intriguing. The sketchy illustrations add little to the volume, which is also illustrated with reproductions of art from around the world. Bib., ind.
