My Own Books: King Midas

This month saw the addition of a new story in the Folktales category to My Own Books, the personalized books in which the reader dons a magical hat and is off on adventure in time and space. The newest addition is "King Midas" the Greek mythology tale of over-reaching greed and its dire results. See the story at http://www.educationalsynthesis.org/books/Midas.html

Fair warning: The pictures tend to depict King Midas in a midieval setting instead of ancient Greece. This is the due to restrictions in available clip art. Thankfully, my sister has agreed to try to produce more effective pictures, which will be added to the story as she does them.

Otherwise, enjoy the story and share your tales of how it went over with your classoom!
