useful introduction to the world of Greek gods

The short text dedicates a two-page spread to each of the major Greek gods & goddesses, providing information on the role of that god & how he fits in to the very complicated family tree of Greek gods, with pages cross-referenced to other gods. In design & layout, this book reminds me of the "Eyewitness" guides. I found myself wanting more information and wishing that the text were a little longer than 42 pages (not including the two page index) -- but perhaps that's just a sign I'm ready to advance beyond books written primarily for children. Overall, I think this is a fun, well-illustrated book that young people would return to time & time again.
