The children's Homer is about the Trojan War, the travels of Odyssesus and the journey of Telemachus (the son of Odysseus).  I liked the Children's Homer because it was exciting. Each chapter made me want to read the next!  Some of the most interesting things were:
  1. The battle between Paris and Menelaus.  they were both strong warriors and it was exciting to see which one would win.
  2. The fight between Achilles adn Agamemnon.  This was interesting because you wondered what Achilles would do.
  3. The fall of Hector.  Exciting because Hector was a strong warrior adn his death was very powerful.
