Book Reviews of Mythology (Ologies)
Book Review: Great Series #3 Interesting and Fun for Parents and Kids Alike!
Summary: 5 Stars
Most of you know Metaldiva has two strapping metalbabies, both boys,and they cannot wait for the next of these books to hit the shelves. There is something to be said for a book that can take dry, not so popular reference information and make it come to life for adults and children. This version, like the previous ones, is richly illustrated and has lovely pop-ups, pockets and doodads that turn the reader into an explorer. It has wonderful facts and fun that can open up kids to learning without knowing they are doing so. Even parents, like me, that thought they were pretty versed in the subject, learn fun facts and share that learning with the kids, too. We bought the companions to the Egyptology, Dragonology, Pirateology and Wizardology and all the accoutrements and games. Not one has dissapointed us. There's two more that just came out Monsterology and Spyology, the kiddos cannot wait to get theirs. Peek at[...] , it ties them all together with fun games and trivia, my boys love it!
Metaldiva Sez: This is a series that is entertaining, informative and unlike many other children's books, that you read once and shelve, this will be opened and played with time and time again. Must have!!!
Summary of Mythology (Ologies)
Presenting the newest discovery in the series with the Midas touch ? a mythical exploration fit for the godsIn the early nineteenth century, an English nobleman embarked on a tour of the sites of ancient Greece. He brought as his guide a primer on Greek myths written by his friend Lady Hestia Evans, a devotee of Lord Byron who had recently taken the same voyage. In the true Romantic spirit, Lady Hestia?s book was not only lavishly illustrated but also boasted many paper crafts and novelties, including a card game featuring the twelve Olympians, an oak-leaf oracle of Zeus, a pop-up Pandora?s box (with hope still inside), a booklet retelling the tale of Odysseus, a piece of the Golden Fleece, a gold OBOLOS coin to pay the ferryman on the River Styx, and many more flaps, foldouts, and other surprises. The nobleman added his own witty comments and drawings along the way, but seems to have wished for something odd at the Delphic oracle: as the book nears its end, it slowly begins to turn . . .to gold. Now, for lovers of Greek myths and those just discovering their timeless power, this fascinating volume is faithfully reproduced with all its Romantic ambience, clever wit and novelty features intact.
