FOLKTALES AND NURSERY RHYMES
Osborne, Mary Pope

The Gray-Eyed Goddess

(4) 4-6 Tales from the Odyssey series. Illustrated by Troy Howell. In accessible, easy language, with the text kept to a minimum per page, Osborne retells the Odyssey scenes in which Penelope and her son Telemachus fend off the suitors in Ithaca. The story has been arranged to help young readers follow along, although the illustrations (a map, portraits of the gods, and a chapter-head ornament) are disappointingly meager. Pronunciation guides are included.
