I bought this audioook for our girls (aged 7 and 9) to listen to on long journeys. We enjoy listening to it also and it certainly does make the journeys more bareable. Our 7 year old particularly loves this audiobook, in her words "it's brilliant. I love Jason and the Argonauts best."I feel it's better than simply watching a DVD all the time. At least they are using their imaginations to visualize the images and they are often inspired to sit and draw what they have imagined. I heartily recommend this audiobook. We also enjoyed The Groovy Greeks by Terry Deary from his Horrible Histories series. Although Deary has a much more comical and irreverant take on history, he's still very informative and educational.

I bought the Tales of the Greek Legends for my children when they were only 5 and 7. They are now 14 and 16 and they still love these stories. I highly recommend this version of the Greek Myths.

Wonderful stories. Good choice for anyone looking to introduce the Greek legends to children, and good for those who just love to hear a good, enthralling story.

We own most of the Naxos Junior Classics collection. This set is one my our favorites. Most children love listening to Greek Myths and this will only make them love those stores even more. The stories are dramatic and have a rich vocabulary plus Benjamin Soames has a wonderful voice. We listen to these CDs while in the car, painting, drawing, putting puzzles together or at bedtime. I cannot recommend Tales From The Greek Legends or other Naxos Junior Classics highly enough.

My son has listened repeatedly to this CD as part of his bedtime "routine." He loves the stories, and I love that he's becoming familiarized with Greek legends. I highly recommend this CD for anyone with grade school children who enjoy listening to stories.
