Gaia: Goddess Of Earth by Imogen Greenberg

BLOOMSBURY CHILDREN’S BOOKS, £14.99.

Told in a fun and easyto-follow comic book format, this is the story of Gaia – the ancient Greek goddess who created the Earth. Similar to Horrible Histories, it’s all about making learning fun – there are plenty of characters you’ll recognise (like Zeus and Hercules) as well as some of the lesser-known gods. Greek mythology can be quite confusing – lots of different characters and storylines chop and change at the blink of an eye. However, the Greenberg sisters – with Isabel Greenberg supplying the illustrations – have created a book that’s colourful and fun, with a heartwarming message about protecting the Earth
