Jack’s summer has been focused on mythology.  He devoured the Percy Jackson series in the first two weeks of summer break, then set upon all its companion books, as well as other mythology series by Riordan.  While we were in GJ, he enjoyed being quizzed by our family about Greek myths.  Although Jack knew every god we could come up with, He was disappointed to find out there was a book called The Odyssey, and his knowledge from the Magic Treehouse version apparently wasn’t strong enough.

Ben recently got Jack a copy of D’Aulaires’ Book of Greek Myths to encourage his newfound interests.  This afternoon Jack bounded downstairs and proclaimed that he was ready to make up for losing the quiz on Helen of Troy.  I offered to film a video response, and he readily agreed.
