They, too, insisted that the Greek gods were every bit as real as the stories mentioned in Sunday school. It lead to some very interesting conversations. I have a couple of these books, and my students do love them!Ms. Yinglinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17805324364289597178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1265120169320473011.post-43616285566912322852014-02-03T23:06:38.076-05:002014-02-03T23:06:38.076-05:00 I just finished reading Aphrodite and enjoyed see... I just finished reading Aphrodite and enjoyed seeing her with brown skin.

I suspect that for the current generation of children, it will be THE access portal to Greek mythology, in the same way the D'Aulaires' book was for mine.Emilynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1265120169320473011.post-73092922578808947782014-02-03T12:46:21.698-05:002014-02-03T12:46:21.698-05:00I've been meaning to try out these books - the...I've been meaning to try out these books - there are a lot of fans of both mythology and graphic novels at my house!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1265120169320473011.post-86171095518594206192014-02-03T10:01:48.323-05:002014-02-03T10:01:48.323-05:00I love these books - and they are a HUGE hit with ...I love these books - and they are a HUGE hit with my 4th and 5th graders. maria.selkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12052847577940056985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1265120169320473011.post-54992283431492536302014-02-03T10:01:47.803-05:002014-02-03T10:01:47.803-05:00Great review and guest blog!
