shelf candy canada (Jun.09.10)

Mythology has always been a great source of stories, and its popularity is on the rise with series like Percy Jackson and the Olympians for older kids and Tales from the Odyssey for early readers. This pop-up from a pair of paper-engineering masters makes a great background read!

Gods & Heroes
by Matthew Reinhart & Robert Sabuda
Audience: ages 5 to adult
List price: $36 ($23 online)

Why it's sweet:
This pop-up walks through some of the major gods and heroes of myths from around the world. Beginning with Egypt, it covers Greek mythology, Norse gods, a handful of Asian beliefs, and some essentials of native religions from the Americas. Each two-page spread features a jaw-dropping large model and smaller corner booklets containing extra elements. The information is solid, the illustrations interesting, and the pop-ups truly amazing. This is a can't-miss for a kid showing interest in heroes!
