"Finally, there's the gimmicky but enticing Mythology: The Gods, Heroes and Monsters of Ancient Greece (Candlewick, $19.99; ages 8-up). Like the earlier titles in the popular " 'Ologies" series, which delved into the realms of pirates, dragons, wizards and ancient Egypt, this one comes in the form of a supposedly antique, just-rediscovered book, packed with "interactive" features such as foldouts, pockets, artifacts and mini-books."
