My Storybook Favorites

One of my favorites from the storybooks is Indra vs Thor and Zeus. I'm a huge fan of Norse mythology, so the inclusion of Thor caught my eye.  I love how the author compared the different gods of thunder and lightning from different cultures to each other.  If you're really familiar with one culture's version of a god, understanding a different culture's version will come easier if you compare the similarities and differences between them.  This storybook's author did a fantastic job with this.  Their overall design is pretty basic, but it works well for the stories.  The intro gives us good background info before we jump into the stories.

King Author in India was another storybook that caught my attention.  The author has a very nice design with images that really add to the story without distracting the readers.  I originally clicked on this one, because the title reminded me of A Kid in King Arthur's Court (a fantastic movie if you haven't seen it).  The stories follow King Arthur as he enters other famous stories and interacts with characters from different cultures.  The entire idea is great!  (Picture from King Author in India storybook)

The third storybook that I was drawn to was Voldemort's Reincarnation.  I grew up watching the Harry Potter movies and finally read all of the books last year, so finding a Harry Potter themed storybook sounded amazing.  In the intro, the author starts off introducing themselves as Padma Patil, who is honestly an awesome character who is often overlooked. This idea of setting these Indian stories in a famous established universe and telling them from the point of view of an Indian character was such an amazing idea.  I think this storybook was my favorite.  The author included many beautiful pictures that really add to the story and bring everything to life.
