beth in md Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Can anyone suggest some good read alouds for our unit study on Greece? My daughters are 11 years old and we plan to take about a month. They are not big on war/fighting/action type titles. The only book I currently have is: Classic Myths to Read Aloud by William Russell. Has anyone use this and if so, did you like it? Thanks!

Amie Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Here is a list (scroll down). Don't let "2nd grade" throw you--it covers a broader range of ages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacqui in mo Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 D'Aulaires book of Greek myths is excellent as well as The Children's Homer. Even though it has the War/fighting/action stuff, Homer is such an important work in relation to Greek studies that I would want my children to be familiar with it. I've been reading it aloud with my children really enjoying it. (both boys and girls) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalanamak Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 When I was 13 or so, I read Edith Hamilton's book http://www.amazon.com/Mythology-Timeless-Tales-Gods-Heroes/dp/0446607258/ref=pd_cp_b_2 to myself and made a chart on who was related to who. You can look at the opening pages on Amazon and see if your daughter would comprehend it if it were read to her. She's in print all these years later for a reason.

meet me in paris Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 We just listened to the audio version of Cynthia Rylant's Greek myths and it was really, really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
