Odysseus and The Cyclops

Bibliographic Information (APA): Hutton, W. (1995). Odysseus And The Cyclops. New York, NY: Margaret K. McElderry Books

Brief Annotation: This is a mythical book about Odysseus and the Cyclops. Odysseus discovers a new land and decides to explore it with his men and runs into a mean cyclops.
Genre: PictureBook, Myth
Grade Level: 3rd
Readers who will like this: Children who enjoy mythical stories or hero stories.
Response/Rating (1-4): 1; The illustrations in this book were boring and plain. This book was very violent as well. The cyclops in the story eats several men before Odysseus finds a way to set them free. I wouldn't recommend this book for children of the faint of heart. Some children may respond very well to this book but it may give others nightmares. I wouldn't recommend this book to be used in the classroom.
