Book Reviews of Tales from the Odyssey #3: Sirens and Sea Monsters (Tales from the Odyssey)
Book Review: Perfect introduction to a classic
Summary: 5 Stars
While Mary Pope Osborne is best known for her Magic Tree House series, this set of books chronicling the Odyssey is an appropriate and well written introduction for young readers. Included in each book in the set is a concise prologue introducing Homer's Odyssey, along with a summary of Greek Gods & Goddesses (including illustrations, brief descriptions and an invaluable pronunciation guide). While I ordered the set to read aloud to my six year old, I have found that despite the lack of illustrations (with the exception of the Gods/Goddesses) my four year old son is captivated by the stories as well. I highly recommend this series to anyone interested in introducing their children to this classic.
Summary of Tales from the Odyssey #3: Sirens and Sea Monsters (Tales from the Odyssey)
Odysseus and his men have done what no other mortals have done: returned alive from the terrifying Land of the Dead. Armed with warnings and advice from the ghosts of the prophet Tiresias, Odysseus is determined to finally sail home to Ithaca. But the enchantress Circe tells him that the Greeks will face even more horrors on their journey, including an encounter with Scylla, the six-headed monster, and Charybdis, the deadly whirlpool. Who will survive these terrors-and how?In this third of six books based on episodes from Homer's Odyssey, Mary Pope Osborne continues the exciting adventures of one of the greatest heroes of all time.
