Booklist - 06/01/2025 Young fans of the Percy Jackson TV series and Marvel movies will enjoy the Little Myths series, which recounts the origins of famous mythical monsters and gods, but readers without any prior knowledge of Greek and Norse mythology might struggle. Funny and conversational, with crisp, comics-influenced illustrations, these retellings of ancient myths unfortunately miss the mark by not including a pronunciation guide or glossary. Filled with names even an experienced reader might stumble over, like Jörmungandr and Tanngrisnir, Thor: The Making of a God could frustrate beginning readers who are unfamiliar with Thor’s origins. It’s a shame, because the narration is humorous and informative, retelling important moments from Thor’s mythos, including Loki’s involvement in the creation of Thor’s hammer, Mjollnir. This series is entertaining and educational but may prove difficult for beginning readers and mythology neophytes. Recommended as supplementals for libraries with well-stocked mythology sections. - Copyright 2025 Booklist.
