01 The Beasts in the Jar: Book 1 (Greek Beasts And Heroes) - Tapa blanda

A superb introduction to the Ancient Greek myths and legends. Highly recommended (THE BOOKBAG)

A fascinating and fun collection (LANCASHIRE EVENING POST)

Ideal for newly independent readers. Coats' style offers much to fire the imagination and foster the art of storytelling, with its richly patterned story language and well chosen description. (WRITE AWAY)

Perfectly written for age 7+ (IRISH EXAMINER)

Lots of the stories are well known but are well worth retelling again. The stories are beautifully short, which means they should work well to read to a young child, or have the child read themselves, with room for a second story if required. Keep them coming! (BOOKWITCH)

'All the famous stories are here, re-told in a magical way with great illustrations' (ANGELS AND URCHINS)

A great introduction to the colourful classical world. (JUNIOR)

The Gods were generous with their storytelling gifts to Lucy Coats, as her Historical knowledge and sparkling prose draw children on an exciting journey through the ancient world (THE LITERACY CLUB)

An exceptional collection of myths...written in a lively style which breathes new life into these old legends (WRITING MAGAZINE)

The writing is light and humorous, while colourful pictures and maps guide the reader swiftly through the mountains and seas of the classical lands. A great way of bringing the myths and legends of ancient Greece to a young audience (CAROUSEL)
