☀️tagged and pictured. One of my hobbies is to do illustrative-type colored pencil art, and this book was a huge reason why I chose to pick that particular hobby up.

☀️ Eh. This is a tough summer.

☀️ EEG and Fracture. That‘s it. I‘ve been making a point of spending as little as possible because my income is unreliable due to quarantine. But both were purchased from the local indie store.

ulyssesartmiller Tagging @Jennifer3 and @Bookwyrm42 if you two feel like playing 😊 4y
Eggs Beautiful ❤️🖤 - love color pencil art 👏🏻👏🏻 4y
Jennifer3 I want to play. I need to do some thinking on the children‘s book. 4y
MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm I‘m currently at work on break, but I‘ll definitely do it when I get home! Love the images from that book! 😍 Would love to see some of your work too! 4y

Mehso-so

Very entertaining. I remembered some of them, but I learned a lot more about the family dynamics of the gods. I was confused by watching Marvel's movie version of their family, which isn't right at all. My son liked the stories and thought most of them were very funny.

RadicalReader @jenlbean most awesome God is Thor 6y
jenlbean @RadicalReader he seems to have a really short fuse in this book lol. I really enjoyed the information on the female gods though. 6y
RadicalReader @jenlbean So Thor has Hulk‘s temper what a combo!!! 6y
jenlbean @RadicalReader he was exactly like the Hulk in the myths. Plus I found out Hel is actually Loki's daughter. 6y

Reading Norse mythology to my son as part of homeschooling. We've gone to interest led learning which is more work for me, but has been much more engaging for him. I can't believe his recall when he's interested in something! I like this picture from the book, but we've gotten quite a laugh at some of the others.

One of my favorite books growing up. I rented this from the library I don‘t know how many times. Mom gifted me a copy. My SO and I just finished reading it.

This is my favorite book, and so beautiful! If you've never read anything from the D'Aulaires, I urge you to remedy that at once! #somethingpretty

saresmoore I love the D'Aulaires' books! I don't have Greek or Norse Mythology, but I think I must remedy this. 7y
HippieChickHomeschool The Norse is my favorite, but the Book of Trolls is my kid's favorite. I don't think you can go wrong with any of them though! 7y
TheWordJar We have the Greek myths and love them. Have you ever listened to the audio version? The narrators are none other than Paul Newman, Matthew Broderick, Sidney Poitier, and Kathleen Turner. You have not heard a Greek myth until you've heard it narrated by Sidney Poitier! (Totally scared my son, 4yo at the time!) 7y
HippieChickHomeschool @TheWordJar I had NO idea!!! That sounds unbelievable! We are going on a 6 hour road trip tomorrow, I know what we will be listening too. Thanks!!!! 7y
TheWordJar Yay!! You are in for such a treat!! 7y
