Beautiful Books!
The Poetic Primer Set is an aesthetically beautiful set of books. I appreciate the art and story-telling on a younger level, as well as the thought-provoking questions that tie in virtue to the stories in “Aesop’s Fables.” Well done! My daughter couldn’t wait to read it!

Book
The Odessy is a grand epic tale of the successes and many trials has to endure to ge back home to Ithaca in ancient Greece. Learning is enhanced by additions of maps along with pages that explain the cast of humans, gods, and monsters. Another superb aspect are pages about Virtues like justice, fidelity, envy, pride, plus there is a wonderful glossary. I highly recommend these 2 books to teachers where hole units can be created with most aspects of unit planning are done for you in the book itself.
