Z is for Zeus by Helen L. Wilbur

Each letter of the alphabet is used to represent a character or event from Greek Mythology. Each letter has a poem that adds charm to this picture book. On the side is a more detailed description of things such as the Underworld, Fates, and Olympus. Although it is a picture book, younger students would not understand all the details given in this book. It is an excellent pick for teachers to share as they teach Greek Mythology or students to enjoy as they read Percy Jackson and the Olympians
