Young Zeus af G. Brian Karas

This book highlights the Greek God young Zeus. This book is hilarious as is discusses family and monsters. Zeus learns a lot about family especially how complicated they can be. Elementary students of all ages will enjoy this book as they get introduced to mythology. It's not your typical mythology book as it doesn't mention death, they just go to the bottom of the sea instead.
