What educators are saying

This is an excellent, retelling of the Trials of Hercules. My students were ALL into this story. Highly Recommend!

Rated 5 out of 5

I used this for an academic-based summer camp with a "myths and legends" theme. The passage was a bit too advanced for my incoming 2nd graders, but I was able to use the questions with a few videos. It was great and I can't wait to use it with my older kids!
