Gooney Bird Greene : Greek Myths for Young Children Reviews
| 77 of 77 people found the following review helpful  Classic Myths for Young Minds, This review is from: Greek Myths for Young Children (Stories for Young Children) (Hardcover) In this charming retelling of many favorite Greek myths, Heather Amery makes the age-old tales of Persephone, Pygmalion, Ulysses, and others come to life for the young reader. These stories are beautifully illuminated and perfect for reading aloud. The print is also large enough that an early reader can tackle them himself. As a bookstore employee, I enjoy using this book for in-store storytime. I highly reccomend it! 52 of 52 people found the following review helpful  Greek Myths for Young Children, By This review is from: Greek Myths for Young Children (Stories for Young Children) (Hardcover) My two boys (7 and 10) where held captive throughout this whole book. They wanted it read to them every night until it was done. The book was easy to understand, with enough pictures for interest, and pronounciation in the back for the greek names. It put all the greek stories together in nice order. We loved it. 29 of 29 people found the following review helpful Get them started early, By This review is from: Greek Myths for Young Children (Stories for Young Children) (Hardcover) This is a great book for the 6 - 10 age group. Younger kids may need some bits explained "Mummy, what's a gorgon?" And older kids will already know these popular myths and can go on to more advanced translations. The illustrations are simple and effective with a different border theme for each story. My only gripe is that not all the characters were drawn, mostly they were but some like Helen and Narcissus weren't. The language is age appropriate and the stories move along at a lively pace. Be warned Heracles and Odysseus will require three or four bedtimes to get through. |
