Long, Long Ago. Greek Myths and Legends.

All children love myths and legends and the Greeks have some of the best. The timeless tales of Ulysses, Hercules, Jason and others are full of adventure, bravery and the fact that actions have consequences. Parents will love these retold versions as they are ideal for busy families and deliver a quality story time. The idea is that you enjoy reading together; associating reading with fun, attention, closeness and cuddles is an excellent thing to do.

These stories are designed for your child to join in when the rhymes are in block capitals such as
I WILL FIND THE FLEECE OF GOLD
AS I AM SO STRONG AND BOLD
Found in Jason and the Golden Fleece.

This is fun and you can laugh as you learn but it also helps with memory and prediction of the story which are both essential reading skills.
I have been telling these stories for over 30 years to pupils and my own children and they are guaranteed to be popular.
I call the stories 'best loved' to make sure they are suitable, as some myths and legends can be very frightening and they will not be here.
I use simple language to make them accessible to children so soon they will be able to read them alone. 
The Myths and Legends found in this book are...
Jason and the Golden Fleece
Perseus and Medea
The Legend of Helen of Troy
The Labours of Hercules
The Legend of the Wanderings of Cadmus
