The epic story of Gilgamesh is continued in this storybook, which follows the same easy reading with detailed illustrations format as Gilgamesh the King. Now that Gilgamesh and his kingdom are happy and prosperous, the only thing troubling them is a monster in the mountains that causes destruction and death. The monster is eventually slain, but with a price. ~ Rachel
Publisher's Description of Revenge of Ishtar
In this second volume in the Gilgamesh trilogy, Enkidu joins Gilgamesh in the quest to slay Humbaba, the monster who has attacked the city and caused great destruction, including the death of the beautiful singer, Shamat. Gilgamesh and Enkidu successfully slay the monster and in so doing, Gilgamesh attracts the attention of the goddess Ishtar. In rejecting her advances, he incurs her revenge and an attack by the Bull of Heaven. Enkidu manages to kill the bull, but is slain by Ishtar, striking at the bond between the two friends. Shattered, Gilgamesh vows he will destroy the last monster: death.

My high schoolers are reading Gilgamesh this year, so I thought this series would be a fun way for my 5th grader to read it too.
