Mini Myths: Brush Your Hair, Medusa!
Review by: Brittany Perez (Oh My Bookness)
@OhMyBookness
Joan Holub with Leslie Patricelli once again brought a Greek mythology tale to a grade school level. For I find its one of the hardest one yet, medusa. The woman with hair for snakes. Joan and Leslie managed to weave a classic mythological tale an bring it into this century.
With a young medusa refusing to care for her wild and crazy long long locks wild as they can be, in I'm tamed, Un-fully like snake head herself. All her daddy wants is her to brush her hair and tame her wild locks to Jane a civilized appearance for when she shows ups.....
Instead she she reveals she brushes her dolls her dolls hair while bouncing on one her bed...till Grammy comes. Grammy has the ways of persuasion, a way to tame the beasts......
While still staying true to the classic, Joan and Leslie brought mythology to a new generation in a way they can understand. Have fun, and relate to. Most importantly Joan adds I'm the end the myth of Medusa, with her snake jake, her wild locks,how she dealt what people thought and should eventually would become.
While this is a new classic she she makes sure to add the actually summary of the mythology at the end and you can see how the the new classic fits in with in the the old lore. Leslie's draw swim also do a great he long bring Joan's word life, it does not have not be complicated to convey a message a and this story successfully did.
