I Am Poseidon! - Booklist
This delightful and somewhat scandalous entry in the Greek Gods and Goddesses series (6 titles) hands Poseidon the mic, letting him introduce himself—and a few other notable figures—to readers, using a snarky first-person approach. The god gives the basic rundown on himself and his origins, comically emphasizing his love of horses, before going on to tell a few famous stories that he is connected to. These include tales of Medusa; his future wife, Amphitrite; and the Bull of Minos. The saucy details are glossed over and put into age-appropriate terms, though readers may wish to discuss how a woman and a bull conceived a child. The design is a highlight here, with colorful full-bleed illustrations filling each page. The combination of appealing art and inviting tone makes this a fun choice for kids cutting their teeth on Greek mythology.
