Three Storybook Favorites

My Three Favorite Storybooks

Horses of Hogwarts

I recently watched the Harry Potter series for the first time, and it was captivating! It has the appeal that makes it really, really hard to stop watching. After one of the adventures ended, I couldn't wait to jump into the next one. When I saw the title of this storybook, Horses of Hogwarts, I had to take a look.  

This storybook recaps the interactions between Harry Potter and his friends with Centaurs in the series. It was an insightful, and interesting storybook. Aside from the content, I enjoyed the introduction. The author of the post did a great job of piquing my interest as a Harry Potter fan. They did a great job of finding a unique subtopic within a hugely popular, and widely discussed series. 

Mount Olympus Gossip

The next storybook I found was  Mount Olympus Gossip. This storybook was particularly interesting to me because I know quite a bit about the gods and goddesses included in it. After diving into it, I found that the author of the post genuinely made the post feel like gossip. It was quite entertaining, honestly. The references to Zues' affairs with the other goddesses and Hera's frustration felt like a tabloid. 

The main thing I would take away from this storybook is to find a unique "tone" so to speak. Find  a way to convey the messages in a way that your "voice" can be heard from reading it.

Tales of Ganesha

The final storybook I enjoyed was Tales of Ganesha. I initially clicked on this storybook because I have heard of Ganesha. I knew Ganesha came from Hindu culture, so it was unsurprising when it popped up under the Indian Epics tab. The content of the storybook was interesting, as almost all have been.

Similar to Mount Olympus Gossip, I was a fan of how the author told the stories. In Tales of Ganesha, the author wrote in first person from Ganesha's point of view. It was as if Ganesha was telling his own story. 

I was also a fan of the site structure of this storybook. The home page was welcoming. There was an interesting introduction, and it was easy to find the next page for the story.
