My 6 1/2 year boy loves the Myth Men Guardians of the Legend books. They are a bit like reading a comic, and they have collector cards in the back. He loves the illustrations.

THIS BOOK HAS NO EXCITEMENT OR DRAMA FOR THE KIDS,THEY JUST REWROTE AN OLD STORY

Would you ever fight a one hundred headed dragon? Well Hercules has in MYTH MEN Guardians Of The Legend. In the middle of the story Hercules has to hold the sky. I like Hercules the best, because he's strong and cool. I believe that the moral is that if work hard for something, then you achieve it.

One of my sons had a lot of trouble with beginning reading. How laboriously we taught him his letters, then sounds, then short words! But then we found the Myth Men series. He read these books over and over -- and they have some big words! It's a comic book format, so he could pick up cues from the pictures. This series (and Archie comics, actually) got him over the reading hump, he moved on to text without pictures, and last year he won an award for most books read at his school!

We searched and waited for months for this book. We read part of this book once and my daughter is now afraid of the book if she sees it sitting out in the open! She finds the illustrations to be very scary. The only explanation I can give for the illustration is that they are sort of a mix between gothic and a folk artists rendition of the apocolypse.

We love most of Bill Grossman's books, but we will certainly stay away if he is teamed up with Florence Wint again.

My children love this book when it's read to them as they are tickled when dad's tongue is tied. Reminiscent of the Dr. Seuss books but with real words. As for the illustrations, they're beautiful - albeit surreal - but this only adds to its classic nature. My children, as young as they are, are culturally challenged by the artwork as its near museum quality. It makes them think!

One more thing, the theme itself is applicable to the adult world where change is resisted. I've read the book aloud during training sessions where the subject matter is outside the comfort zone of many. It's a great way to add a bit of fun to what will be a long training day. I've bought this book for no less than 15 clients and am disappointed that it's out of print.
