(4) K-3 Ready-to-Read series. Illustrated by Dani Jones. This entry-level adaptation of the famous Greek myth geared toward beginning readers is easy to read, but its simplicity results in a bare-bones treatment. The illustrations are cartoony and somewhat uneven: King Menelaus looks appropriately grumpy and Helen both coy and sultry, but the action scenes are a bit wooden. Pronunciation guides assist readers with Greek names.
