ABOUT THE POETIC PRIMERS SERIES:
A dilemma that some parents face is whether or not to
introduce their children to certain classics because they have some
questionable scenes or characters. For instance, the epic, The Odyssey presents the strong moral hero, Odysseus, who faces
some more adult-like vices like lust. Hence, Good & True Media has taken
some of the renowned classics and made them more kid friendly without removing
the elegant language or the essence of the story.
Poetic Primers focuses on the virtues that each of the
heroes embodies and the poetic language of each story. In the back of each is a
character development section which explains the virtues and vices present in
the story and offers reflection questions for the children to relate those
virtues and vices to their own lives. Together with beautiful illustrations,
Poetic Primers allow younger readers to experience the epic tales of the old
classic heroes while still fostering their innocence.
