I'm amazed! I just discovered my daughter (2nd Grade) knows a
good deal of Greek mythology. I quizzed her and seems she knows
more that I do! :::Proud Mom Grin::: Alas, her response was
"HUH?" when I asked her if she knows any Norse or Roman
mythology. I promised her I'd look for books on the topics, but
can't find anything for her age group. (I always buy her and my
son books of a level one grade above theirs). Anyone have any
suggestions? Doesn't the Green Duck carry children's books on
period topics? (Can't find a link).
D'Aulaire's "Norse Gods and Giants" I know for sure. Thee is a newer one called Odin's Family (I think), and there is another called Children of Odin (or at least was at one time-- I think the title might have changed).
In my opinion, it never hurts for the parents to read up themselves and tell the stories to their kids at each owns level. I often spend as much time explaining the stories my way after reading stories to my own son. :) My son for some reason does not enjoy my linguistic rantings though. LOL!
Welga!
