Norman Mythology: The first story that I read was a modern tale of the Trojan War. The beautiful OU cheerleader: Harlee, represented Zeus' daughter Helen, who started the Trojan War because of love. In the story, the all mighty Lincoln Riley represents Zeus, because of the power that they both hold. The other characters in the story represent Greek gods and goddesses. The title was captivating and intriguing, as well as did a great job of giving a hint of what the story was about. The intro was a great peek into the rest of the storybook, introducing main characters, and pulling in anybody who enjoys OU football. The layout was very clean, and the author did a great job choosing pictures of the OU football players, as well as Greek gods and goddesses to pull the entire story together.
Jovi: The Dog of All Dogs: This story is on the sweeter side, about a cheerful pup named after John Bon Jovi. The introduction does a great job telling of Jovi's personality, introducing him and his many stories. Jovi's "Herculean efforts" to be the greatest dog ever are intriguing, and make me want to read more of this fascinating dog's tales. The title does a great job captivating what this storybook is about: the many tales of Jovi. Each Jovi tale is slightly different, but all tell about his spunky personality. The pictures of the sweet pup are the perfect touch to the stories.
Waffle House: Creating Magic in Ancient Egypt: This is a fun story about the popular and infamous restaurant: Waffle House. This is such a fun story, about a time capsule to the past to try the "first" Waffle House in ancient Egypt. The intro sets the story, and presents questions that will be later answered in other stories in the storybook. This is a great hook, pulling the audience in and making them want to continue reading on. The pictures were great, especially the first one of the Waffle House in front of the pyramids. I could tell by the title, intro, pictures, and all together mash-up, that this would be a really fun story.
