Icarus Was Ridiculous

This book is a 'remake' of four classic Greek myths in the typical ‘aliens’ style. It is somewhat funny and a decent introduction to the material . Our daughter, being a history nut, was already more than familiar with each fo these stories. But she found it an entertaining read.We have quite a few books in the this series. Parents will probably not appreciate the style of these books, with many of the words emphasised and printed in capital letters and with only basic black and white illustrations printed on crude paper - It’s more about an overall style that draws children in, than narrative. And I find these mildly humorous books a bit tedious for parents that want to use them for guided reading or to read them to their children. And they are not even as scary as the real thing. Yet for about 5 GBP it is modest value for money.

Fantastic book I really enjoyed it.There are 4 Greek myths in it and they are especially adapted for kidsThe reason that a star is missing is because of the bad grammar there are split infinitives, and conjunctives at the start of many sentences.All in all AMAZING BOOK!

Gave me 2 hours of peace . Totally worth it .

Great book. Came sealed and in perfect condition. My nine year old son loves this authors books and she didn’t fail here.

Greatly appreciated by my 9yr old granddaughter.
