Hey,

For people who have kids...

If you were to get a book on Greek Mythology for a 4-5th grader, what would you recommend?

This is considered the standard-bearer in Classical mythology for kids.

That's what I was going to recommend, too. So, 2 votes for D'Aulaire.

Agreed. I grew up on that book and loved it. Their book of Norse mythology is also great.

I grew up with that, and loved it.

I haven't looked at it with a more educated eye, for fidelity to the original myths, but I don't know if that's possible, important, or even desirable in many cases.
