Best Books: Mythlopedia :]

I have been interested in myths since first grade.  An Aliki book,  The Gods and Goddesses of Olympus was the first mythology book that I liked.  My current favorite books are the Mythlopedia series.  Mythlopedia is the funniest way to learn about Greek myths.  

The Mythlopedia book series have a lot of unique aspects. The style of how it is written makes it look like Facebook or Twitter. Each entry has a Facebook profile of gods and monsters that states friends and foes along with stories that has that character in it.   The artwork is pretty awesome because it is photos mixed with drawings.  One of the funniest parts is that the gods wear modern day underwear instead of showing the nudity in the classic artwork.  The books are funny along with fact-filled. 


The places I have seen them are at the library and Amazon.com.  There are four books in the series: Oh My Gods! by Megan E. Bryant, What a Beast! by Sophia Kelly, She's All That by Megan E. Bryant, and All in Family by Steven Otfinoski.  Any one who loves Greek myths will love all the books!  Learn about Greek myths while laughing your butt off.
