D'Aulaire's Book of Greek Myths

The Greek myths are popular in Europe and North America. Western culture and democracy developed from Greek civilization, so every student studies about Greek civilization and Greek myths.

The Greek myths are important for understanding western culture, but also they are fun to read! Greek myths are exciting. The Greek gods have wild love affairs, take revenge on their enemies, and make trouble for the humans. Greek myths are stories of mystery and fantasy. The Greek gods are interesting characters. You will never forget the stories of the goddess of love, the god of the sea, the god of death, etc. The myths will stimulate you and your imagination will be set free.

Did you know that many of the planets are named after Greek Gods? Did you know that the word 'fate' comes from three gods named the Three Fates? Did you know that the word 'Olympics' comes from Mount Olympus, the place where the Greek gods live? Many English words come from the Greek language. You will have a better understanding of these words by reading the Greek myths.

I recommend D'Aulaire's Book of Greek Myths because the stories are wonderful and because they are an important part of western culture and civilization. Enjoy!

Our choice for this week is "Did I Ever Tell You How Lucky You Are? ", by Dr. Seuss. This is a children's story, but it is loved by adults and children. It is a popular gift between adults because of the wonderful message. When we read this book, we understand that we are very lucky. It gives us a good feeling about life.

Dr. Seuss is probably the most famous writer of children's stories. I think that every native English speaker has read a Dr. Seuss story. His stories are bright and imaginative. I recommend that everyone read at least one Dr. Seuss story. Dr. Seuss often uses nonsense words in his stories, so they are difficult to translate. But they are easy to understand and fun to read.

This book comes with an audio cassette to help with the pronounciation. By listening to the cassette, you can get a feeling for the rhymes that Dr. Seuss uses. Rhyming is important in English, as we use it in songs, poems, jokes and children's stories. This cassette will help you to understand the fun of rhymes and help you with the rhythm and intonation.
