Greek Myths

Great

My 4 years old is glued to this book. She enjoys the pictures and flips pages in an intrigued manner. I feel great that I am able to raise curiosity in her mind on issues aesthetic. The book received is however not much sturdy the cover is peeling off in the corner after very little and careful use. Expect a better care from publishers and sellers

Great Product

Bellissimo prodotto, corredato di fumetti, per leggere/far leggere in lingua inglese le storie dei più famosi miti greci ai più piccoli.

Reviews of Theseus and the Minotaur by Marcia Williams. Children aged 7-9. Review by PF and TA We recommend this book because it is funny, creepy and sad. The comic strip style appeals to us because it has lots of detailed pictures as well as short pieces of writing to tell the story. Review by BC & RR In Crete King Minos created a horrific monster - it was a MINOTOUR! Every year King Minos would tell King Agues to send 7 boys and 7 girls to Crete to be killed by the Minotaur. Theseus was furious about this so told his dad King Aegeus that he was going to Crete to slay the Minotaur himself… We recommended this book because it’s very creative and we really like the comic bok style because the pictures tell you more information and they are funny! Review by OR It is good that Theseus killed the minotaur so that the people of Athens could stop being given to him for food. Review by A.B. I recommend the Theseus and the Minotaur myth because it is very good and the illustrations are fantastic! My best bit is when King Minos (Theseus’s dad) jumps of the cliff onto the rocks at the end. Review by OY. I like this story because there are a lot of characters. I think people should read this book because it is a good read. Theseus wanted to kill the hairy Minotaur because a lot of weak tributes from Athens got sent each year and it wasn’t fair.

I have a daughter who is turning 5 in two months and I wanted to introduce her to some classical stories that eventually she will resist learning about when she is in high school so I decided to pick this book up. I've been very happy with my purchase. she constantly insists that we read the Greek Myths. Its full of wonderful stories and the comic-book style art is great. When I read her the stories, I can see her mind really brewing up the imagery of whats happening. All in all its a wonderful historical matter prepared in a way so that four+ year olds can start to understand and enjoy. The only "heads up" is that most Greek Myths have a tragic ending so be ready to change the ending of these stories from "they died" to "they got real sick, but will return from the hospital soon!". Sometimes I give her the sugar coated ending and other times I will give her the death ending.

Me ha encantado. La mitología en cómic, chulísimo. Me chocó el pedazo de caja que usó Amazon para mandar un libro de medio centímetro de grosor... anda que cómo os pille la Greta....
