Storybook Favorites


The first storybook I picked was the Greek Game Show. I picked this topic because greek mythology is something I’m low key very nerdy about. I have read all of Rick Riordans Percy Jackson books which is a book series that combines the modern world and greek and roman mythology, which I found really awesome. This also peeked my interest because it’s a mythology game show in the perspective of the greek gods. I highly enjoyed how the author gave them unique personalities and had very good questions throughout the storybook. I thought the introduction to this storybook did a great job of explaining what the storybook was about and with good comedic commentary on it. I also thought it was designed very creatively with fun pictures and witty commentary throughout the whole thing.


The next storybook that I picked was the Modern Day Dantes Inferno. I picked this topic because this is another subject that I know a good amount about (like greek mythology), that enjoyed reading through this storybook. I liked how it took a modern celebrities and athletes and compared them to the Dantes Inferno. I found the storybook very witty and enjoyable much like the greek game show. The introduction does a very good job of explaining what the storybook is about by laying out what each circle of hell is and who we will see on it.



The last storybook that I selected was the Greek Monsters Good or Evil?. I picked this one again because I’m familiar with the monsters that were discussed in this storybook and find the idea of discussing whether certain greek monsters with evil or not very interesting. I thought the introduction was very well worded and gave great insight on what the storybook would be discussing. I thought this one could have been designed a little better and could’ve added more monster examples, but seeing this layout gives me a good idea of how I would like mine to look.
