A staple in my childhood. This is where I first learned about my favorite Greek myth: Icarus and Daedalus. Great bed-time reader for children or for usage in a classroom/public library reading. Some people claim that it's a shame that some of the legends were shortened for the book- but what do you expect? It's for children and it's also used as a tool to get others to do their own research if they want to learn more.

Perfect for read-alouds in the 4th grade classroom, this book fits in well with the new Common Core Curriculum! There are new standards and expectations for students learning about heroes, as well as myths and legends. Each tale is only a few pages, which means even students unfamiliar with mythology will be able to follow the stories and stay engaged. Some of the stories may be unsuitable for reading aloud, but with 101 to choose from, teachers can easily find many that will work for their particular class of students.… (plus d'informations)

“Victory or Death!” by Rappaport and Verniero is a different approach to learning about the American Revolution. This story is a compilation of several true stories of people in the revolution. Some of them we know, like George Washington, for example. Most, however, are not household names. The book features men and women of different ages and backgrounds. For instance, it features the story of a sixteen-year-old girl who helped rally her father’s militia. This diversity is intentional.

This book seems most appropriate and accessible for a middle school audience. It is well-written and features maps and original illustrations. The stories are engaging enough to capture the attention of the students, yet include enough historical information to be a useful learning tool. I can see an application for this book in the classroom. The stories would be helpful in capturing the attention of the students and bringing them back to this extraordinary time period. The multicultural aspect of the stories has the attention to be especially appealing to the students. I would certainly consider utilizing this in supplement to a middle school unit on the American Revolution.
