Story
The kingdom of Cornucopia was once the happiest in the world. It had plenty of gold, a king with the finest moustache you could possibly imagine, and butchers, bakers, and cheesemongers whose exquisite foods made a person dance with delight when they ate them. Everything was perfect - except for the misty Marshlands to the north, which, according to legend, were home to the monstrous Ickabog. Anyone sensible knew that the Ickabog was just a myth to scare children into behaving. But the funny thing about myths is that sometimes they take on a life of their own.

My Kids Won’t Stop Listening!
I got this book hoping to introduce my kids to ancient myths, and it’s been a hit. Our evenings now include lively discussions about gods, monsters, and heroes.

The writing is clear and engaging, making it easy for them to stay interested without getting overwhelmed. It’s the perfect way to mix learning with fun, and as a parent, I couldn’t be happier.

Engaging Mythology That Sparks Curiosity
I picked this up to explore mythology in a way that feels fresh and engaging, and it absolutely delivers. The stories are told in a way that makes them exciting and easy to follow without losing the depth and wonder of the original myths. I especially appreciated the blend of Greek, Norse, and Egyptian legends—it gives a great mix of well-known tales and lesser-known gems. The added historical insights and fun facts make it even more enriching, offering a great way to dive into ancient cultures while keeping things entertaining.

Amazing mythology is based on many actual events!
Julian Reed’s Mythology for Kids is a captivating and well-researched introduction to the fascinating world of Greek, Norse, and Egyptian mythology. Designed for young readers, this book strikes the perfect balance between education and entertainment, with engaging storytelling and rich historical context. They're learning and may not even realize it!
One of the book’s greatest strengths is how it presents complex mythological tales in a way that is exciting. Reed’s storytelling ensures that readers don’t just learn about myths—they experience them. From the cunning of Loki to the heroism of Perseus, the book is filled with tales of adventure, bravery, and wisdom that have shaped civilizations for centuries.
The Greek myths are particularly well-told, capturing the grandeur and drama of Mount Olympus. In the story of Perseus, for instance, the author describes how he bravely confronts Medusa: “With a steady hand and eyes averted, Perseus raised his blade, knowing that one wrong move could turn him to stone.” This vivid narration immerses readers in the tension of the moment, making it easy to understand why these myths have endured for thousands of years.
The Norse and Egyptian sections are equally engaging, highlighting the powerful gods and legendary figures of each culture. Reed paints a compelling picture of the Norse apocalypse, Ragnarök, writing, “As the great serpent Jörmungandr rose from the depths, the earth trembled, signaling the end of an age and the beginning of a new one.” Passages like these ignite the imagination and make historical fiction feel alive.
Beyond storytelling, the book provides insightful explanations of the myths’ significance, helping young readers understand their cultural and moral lessons. The inclusion of discussion questions and fun facts makes it a fantastic resource for parents and educators looking to spark curiosity about history and literature.
Overall, Mythology for Kids is an outstanding read for any child (or adult!) eager to explore the legendary tales that have shaped human civilization. With its engaging narratives, striking descriptions, and thoughtful insights, Julian Reed has crafted a must-have book for mythology enthusiasts of all ages.
