In this adaptation of an Irish tale, the author introduces a male protagonist, Becan, subverting traditional gender norms and offering a fresh perspective. Including a magical bull as Becan's fairy godmother adds an Irish flavor to the story, drawing from the mystical qualities often associated with animals in Irish folklore. Becan's heroic adventures, such as defeating a giant and a dragon, resonate with the rich tradition of Irish heroic tales. The mysterious disappearance of Becan after saving the princess aligns with the prevalent theme of fate in Irish folklore.… (meer)

As a young girl, Atalanta was left in the wilderness because her father wanted a son instead. Raised by a bear for some time, then by a man who found her while hunting, Atalanta quickly learns to be a hunter herself and can run faster than anyone.

Melanion races her and with the help of the Greek goddess Aphrodite, he wins the race after distracting Atalanta with three golden apples. This story would be helpful for teaching about a Greek myth but it would be a little problematic to use in a classroom since it is such a long retelling of the story and the illustrations aren't my favorite.… (meer)
