The Best Read Aloud Ever

I always use this book as a read aloud to launch my unit on ancient greece and it never fails to hook my students, especially my boys. The prose is like that of a master storyteller and the illustrations are rich, detailed and action-packed. One of the smartest purchases I've made was to buy this one used online - A true classic that holds up in these days of video games, superhero movies and virtual reality.
