Love DK books

My son is addicted to DK eyewitness books and this book is his new favorite.

Great Visuals, but not a story book

This is a book about Mythology and shows lots of visuals of ancient art showing how they depicted their mythology. It's organised by types of mythology, creation myths, fertility myths, afterlife myths, not by cultures. It's a broad introduction to the topic, and I know kids will find the pictures interesting and they will want to learn more about the specifics, which will require other books, but for a child first begining to understand mythology, or even the roots of NeoPaganism, this and perhapse the DK eyewitness book on religion would be a great start. The best part, in my opinion, is that it even encludes a few Biblical myths. ;) As far as age range goes, I think it would be good for 8-14 ish, but child millage and maturity will vary.
