Storybook Favorites

The first storybook that caught my attention was "Project Humanity." Though the title did a good job of getting my attention, it didn’t really tell me what the storybook is about. Personally, I think that’s fine for this kind of storybook since it makes you intrigued to find out what it’s about. Moving on, I think the introduction did a great job of setting the mood of the storybook. It’s not overly long or short and gives just enough information to make the setting interesting. Finally, I found the overall design, use of pictures, and unique setting of the storybook to be quite intriguing.

The next storybook that piqued my interest was “Hero Visa Pending.” Again, the title of this storybook didn’t really tell me exactly what the storybook was about, however, it did give me an idea of what to expect.  Moving on, I think the introduction does a good job of setting the tone and characters of the storybook, but I also think it dragged on for too long. After about halfway through the introduction I wanted to skip the rest and move on the actual meat of the storybook. Finally, I found the poem at the start to be a unique touch to the storybook.



The final storybook that got my attention was “The Temptation of Zeus.” I’ve always been amused by Zeus and his rather unrestrained courtships. I just always found it humorous that the strongest Greek God is also probably the biggest womanizer in mythology. Anyways, the title of the storybook makes it quite clear that the story is about how Zeus seduces women. The introduction is pretty basic and not all that flashy or interesting. It basically just gives a brief overview of Zeus and then gives brief introductions of the woman that will be featured in the storybook. Finally, the premise of exploring Zeus’s adventures with women from the woman’s point of view is interesting, however, I just wish the title and introduction did a better job emphasizing this point.
