Greek Beasts and Heroes: The Beasts in the Jar Bewertungen

'A superb introduction to the Ancient Greek myths and legends. Highly recommended' THE BOOKBAG 'A fascinating and fun collection' LANCASHIRE EVENING POST 'Ideal for newly independent readers. Coats' style offers much to fire the imagination and foster the art of storytelling, with its richly patterned story language and well chosen description.' WRITE AWAY 'Perfectly written for age 7+' IRISH EXAMINER 'Lots of the stories are well known but are well worth retelling again. The stories are beautifully short, which means they should work well to read to a young child, or have the child read themselves, with room for a second story if required. Keep them coming!' BOOKWITCH 'All the famous stories are here, re-told in a magical way with great illustrations' ANGELS AND URCHINS "A great introduction to the colourful classical world." JUNIOR 'The Gods were generous with their storytelling gifts to Lucy Coats, as her Historical knowledge and sparkling prose draw children on an exciting journey through the ancient world' THE LITERACY CLUB 'An exceptional collection of myths...written in a lively style which breathes new life into these old legends' WRITING MAGAZINE 'The writing is light and humorous, while colourful pictures and maps guide the reader swiftly through the mountains and seas of the classical lands. A great way of bringing the myths and legends of ancient Greece to a young audience' CAROUSEL 'This is a very good book' -- Tessa, aged 7 ANORAK MAGAZINE 'These are lovely books which explain some quite complicated myths in relatively easy language for 6 - 9 year olds. The books are beautifully illustrated throughout which helps to bring the stories to life' THE SCHOOL RUN.COM 'This is a marvellous set of 12 books' PARENTS IN TOUCH WEBSITE 'I thought this book was very good. I especially loved the monsters. Each story was only a few pages long, so i could read one each day. I would recommend anyone my age to read it' -- George Potter, aged 9 KID AROUND MAGAZINE
