Hupfer gives the entire class a huge assignment that will carry them through the entire academic year ahead.

Each title in this series focuses on a specific legendary figure or a collection of myths about diverse topics, that have helped to shape our cultures. Born and raised in a small village in Scotland and now based in the West Country where he lives with his wife and adult children, Scott Bateman has been a professional aviator for all of his adult life, starting out as an Air Loadmaster on C-130’s in the RAF and continuing now with state-of-the-art airliners. The most difficult labor of all was getting the golden apples of the Hesperides, for Hercules did not know where to find them.

The pumped-up mythical figure cursed by his superhuman strength narrates his glorious story in this rock 'em, sock 'em picture book.

His eye was round and bright and afraid, and his beak was open a little bit, probably because he was trying to suck in some air before he crashed into he water.

Because the nature of this story is graphic, I thought they assisted with overall comprehension without being too gruesome.

Hercules led armies, sacked cities, fought against the gods, and then joined forces with the gods in the great war known as 'The Gigantomachy'. He was the father of the Hesperides, and Hercules wondered if anyone could find the apples and bring them to him. Luckily, my predictions were correct and I am sure that this will be a massive hit with my pupils when I share it with them next week.Hercules struck off its heads with his club, but in the place of the head knocked off, two new ones grew forth each time.

He lived effeminately, wearing at times the dress of a woman, and spinning wool with the female servants of Omphale, while the queen wore his lion’s skin. The voice of the narrator, Hercules, was shown very well and it sometimes made the reader feel like Hercules himself was talking right at you.The second review talks about this book in great detail on the different techniques that the author used to please the readers. Keďže mám maličkú knižočku z edície Mini, dej je prerozprávaný dosť z rýchlika, no toto milé vyhotovenie doslova do kapsy (väčšej:) to vynahradzuje. This title will also serve as one of many alternatives to the anticipated rush of tie-ins to the Disney animated film Hercules, set for summer release. Consideration of Instructional Application: I think it would be interesting to ask the students how they would overcome these specific obstacles if they had Hercules strength.
