Monstrous Myths SET — Clare Hibbert

Though myths aren't exactly history, they tell us a lot about people of the past and are commonly taught in history classes. But students haven't heard them told like this! Including the story of the Athenian buffet offered yearly to the Minotaur and the search for the Holy Grail, these funny, tongue-in-cheek takes on classic myths include diary entries and letters written by famous mythological figures. Newspaper stories cover their triumphs—and epic failures. Humor and full-color illustrations will engage readers in the myths of the Native Americans, Romans, Greeks, and more, in a new, exciting way! • Content supports the social studies curriculum • Colorful, fun illustrations enhance the main text • Varying prose styles expose readers to different perspectives and story-telling devices • Fascinating fact boxes and a mischievous storyteller named Bones offer extra insight and information
