Description

An interactive board book adventure on the seas of ancient Greece, Brooke Jorden's adaptation of The Odyssey is an epic journey that tells of heroism and homecoming

“I long for home, long for the sight of home.”

Homer's classic epic comes to life for young children! Wheels, pull tabs, and other interactive elements invite kids to outsmart mythical monsters, brave treacherous waters, and return home to Ithaca with Odysseus. Celebrating family and perseverance, this board book helps children understand that no matter how far you go, home is always worth the journey.

Much more than a primer, Lit for Little Hands: The Odyssey tells the actual story in simple, engaging prose. Fans of the beloved novel will be delighted by the book's attention to detail, clever use of original dialogue, and colorful illustrations by Olga Skomorokhova. And the book's use of super-sturdy board means that everyone can enjoy this tale of wit, victory, and reunion over . . . and over . . . and over again!
