To begin, the first storybook that I chose was called Lions
of Aesop. I chose this storybook for two reasons, the first being the subject
matter that is covered and the second be the illustration of the lion that goes
along with it. As far as the information covered, I believe that all the
subjects covered (wisdom, strength, righteousness, and love) are a big part of
life and so I enjoyed reading about them. The second storybook that I chose was
called The Voyages of Sigurd the Volsung. This storybook was first chosen
solely based on the graphic that was provided. As I was scrolling through the
storybooks, the picture of the man and the beast caught my eye and led me to
clicking on it. Upon further inspection I read the introduction and found that
I will probably end up reading this in my free time, the adventurous story seem
like something I could really get into. Plus, I am kind of into stories that
have to do with sea voyage type scenarios; I find that they usually make for a
pretty enjoyable read. My third choice was also solely based on visual appeal.
The name of this storybook was Tale of the Traveling Cat. For whatever reason
the picture of the cat wearing the sunglasses cracked me up. Upon reading the
introduction, I found that the storybook took place in Austin, Texas. Being
from Texas and also enjoying visiting Austin from time to time, this sparked my
interest into making me think about trying to read it on and off when I have
some free time just like the previous storybook. I typically am not a fan of
reading, but during my time spent browsing the list of storybooks on Pinterest,
I may very well find myself doing quite a bit of reading sometime here in the
very near future.
