Phillip, N. (1996). King Midas. Isabelle Brent. Idbury, England: Little, Brown and Company.
Annotation: This is a book about a little baby that was given his fate as a little baby. Ants carried gold grains of wheat to his lips declaring that he was going to be the wealthiest man in the land. Everything he touched turned to gold and it soon would be his demise as he would try to escape his curse.
Genre: Myth
Grade Level: K-5
Readers who would like this: I think this would be a fun book for a teacher to have to introduce the topic of myth.
Rating/Response: I give this book a 3, only for the main idea of the story. I did not like the illustrations. It is not my taste. I think the main lesson of the story is a good one though, so that is the only reason I rated it a 3.
Question: Is there something that you always dreamed of having?
