Does anyone have any tips for a book of Greek stories (legends?) for small children?

Also, fairy tale books that aren't too scary would be good too!

For children aged 5 (DS) and 3.5 (DD)

Thank you!

Super thank you!! (And yes Myths!!! Argh, I have brain ache)

I'll get that ordered. I was trying to explain to DS about Hercules and realised there is a whole genre of stories/myths to learn!

D'Aulaires' Book of Greek Myths is supposedly great for reading aloud to young children (but maybe a little older than 5 and especially 3.5), and later too for children reading themselves. (Ds read it himself at 7, and loved it).
