Native American Tricksters
The topic of this storybook jumped off the page at me. I enjoy all things Native American and I have heard of the "Trickster" before, although I can't remember which tribe he belonged to. The cover image was very interesting as well, and made me curious to read the introduction. When I reached the first page and was "greeted," quite literally, by a fox, I wanted to read more. The introduction provided me with just enough information to make me curious, but not enough for me to know exactly what I could expect. I like that!!

Monstrous Beings of Greek Mythology
As soon as I clicked on the above story, I smiled instantly. The title was aptly represented by the title
page with mythological creatures. The
dark page with white text and the vivid, colorful pictures captured my
attention instantaneously. The
introduction was very creative and it laid out an itinerary, for all intents
and purposes, for where we, the readers, would travel and what stories we would
be in for. The author of this storybook
even laid out maps for reference. This
was a very artistic storybook.
Mermaids: An Eternal World of Waters
The cover for this storybook was lovely.
The image of the mermaids on the rocks and the ship sailing away in the
background, was fun and very innovative a choice for the book. As I have said previously in this blog and in
other blogs, I have a fascination for strange creatures told in stories and
fables and the mermaid is no exception.
The collection of stories gathered within this storybook has to by far
be my favorite out of the three I have chosen to list here. The layout of the storybook, the pictures and
images chosen, and the way the stories are told are remarkable. The author’s retelling of the vengeful
mermaid had me wanting to read more…that’s always my favorite thing about any
book I read, “do they leave me wanting more?”
