Review:
Poseidon takes the lead as the Olympians battle “The Hydra” a five-headed beast or in this case a fan. With their mojo in sync the Olympians would have never of guessed that a chicken named Hermes could ruin it. The new feathered rescue wanted to join up with the Olympians, but Zeus was hesitant because of her affect on Athena, the cat.
Artie turned on her podcast and Zeus settled in to listen as the Oracle told the tale of Heracles a hero with super strength. And of course, Zeus heard Hairy-Clees. The latest quest for Zeus and the Olympians was to perform tasks of labors to earn mortality.
In this third book of the series another fun adventure is what young readers will find. The characters are loveable and in between their adventures readers will learn about famous Greek mythology stories and myths. The back pages invite readers to learn about Olympian gods, myth makers and artifacts. There are also short bios featuring the Olympians. A map shares the historical region with fun facts. Parents and teachers can use this book as a tool to pique the interest of young readers who want to learn more about Greek Mythology.
