2 out of 5 stars Greek legends   July 9, 2008
Anyone familiar with the ancient Greek myths will wonder "Why so skimpy on the details." The myths told here simply don't come to life. The music tries to push some life and excitement in the storytelling, but unfortunately it follows a Wagnerian playbook -not well suited to Greek mythology. All-in-all this is a bland retelling of some really great stories.

We started off getting one of this series for a vacation. Now we have collected eight more for any and all trips in the car, and for our enjoyment at home. I put this in when asking the kids to help with chores and clean their room. We love the Greek Legends one. I have a very old set of the Junior Classics books that I got at a Half-Price Books many years ago. Listening to this has made my kids want to read the Myths and Legends volume (Number 3). I think they are learning and enjoying learning.

Wonderful stories. Good choice for anyone looking to introduce the Greek legends to children, and good for those who just love to hear a good, enthralling story.

I bought this audioook for our girls (aged 7 and 9) to listen to on long journeys. We enjoy listening to it also and it certainly does make the journeys more bareable. Our 7 year old particularly loves this audiobook, in her words "it's brilliant. I love Jason and the Argonauts best."
I feel it's better than simply watching a DVD all the time. At least they are using their imaginations to visualize the images and they are often inspired to sit and draw what they have imagined. I heartily recommend this audiobook. We also enjoyed The Groovy Greeks by Terry Deary from his Horrible Histories series. Although Deary has a much more comical and irreverant take on history, he's still very informative and educational.

I bought the Tales of the Greek Legends for my children when they were only 5 and 7. They are now 14 and 16 and they still love these stories. I highly recommend this version of the Greek Myths.
