 “Percy Jackson’s Greek Gods” by Rick Riordan is a fun romp through Greek mythology, served up with the trademark humor that fans of the Percy Jackson series love. Narrated by Percy himself, the book tackles complex mythological tales into entertaining and accessible stories for younger readers. Riordan’s witty and borderline irreverent style infuses each myth with a fresh sense of fun, making the ancient gods and their antics come alive in a way that’s both educational and hilarious (not to mention more age appropriate). Percy's snarky commentary ensure that readers are not only engaged but also thoroughly entertained as they learn about the rich tapestry of Greek mythology. 

This book is a fantastic introduction for younger audiences to the often intricate and sometimes dark world of Greek myths. It's an excellent way for kids to get excited about mythology while enjoying Percy's characteristic humor. “Percy Jackson’s Greek Gods” serves as a great educational tool that maintains the lighthearted spirit of Riordan’s popular series and will hopefully spark an interest in learning more about ancient history.
