sadiegirl Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 We are starting a section today in History on Ancient Greece and mythology...anyone have some book favorites I can pick up from the library? Our interlibrary loan has over 108 items to choose from so I need some recommendations. I'm not a lover of mythology so those who enjoy it, please pass on books that your kids have enjoyed! thanks!

TengoFive Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Not exactly one of the Great Books, but my kids learned more about the Greek Gods from the Percy Jackson series than anything else we've used. They also like D'Aulaire's Greek Myths. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
