My son loves D’Aulaires’ Greek Myths. He said that he likes the stories and the characters. He started the book at the end of third grade and finished it in fourth. He was intrigued by the content and found this subject to be very interesting. He likes the illustrations. We have deep conversations about the Gods, how they came to be, and how they react to people. The teacher guide is very helpful as I can quickly check his work and vocabulary, while engaging him to give in more in-depth written responses.
