Book Reviews of Tales From the Odyssey CD Collection
Book Review: A perfect introduction to the Odyssey
Summary: 5 Stars
Because my son loves Greek myths, and also loves Mary Pope Osborne's Magic Tree House series, I thought I'd give these CDs and the accompanying books a go. They have been a huge hit with my kindergarten son, a very strong early reader. At first he read the books while listening to the CDs--which was a wonderful way to learn just how to pronounce the names of the many characters. Then he read the books alone, over and over, enthralled by the epic battles. The quality of the CDs is outstanding. And while the books are written for children, they do not condescend---adults who is not familiar with the Odyssey, or even those who are, will enjoy these CDs too. I have enormous respect for Mary Pope Osborne's ability to bring history to life for children---this CD set only reinforces my respect for her.
Summary of Tales From the Odyssey CD Collection
In this acclaimed series based on episodes from Homer's Odyssey, bestselling author Mary Pope Osborne brings one of the greatest adventures of all time to a dramatic life.
When Odysseus must leave his home to fight in the Trojan War, he never imagines that he will be away from his family for so many years. Now, at long last, he is leading his men home across the seas. Many dangers await them-including Polyphemus, the one-eyed giant, Circe, the beautiful witch, sirens, and the Land of the Dead. But the greatest danger awaits Odysseus at home in Ithaca, where a gang of men have moved into his home and plagued his wife and son.
