Stumbled upon this gem while reading children's books for my graduate classes.Apparently it's not the only one! Be Careful, Icarus takes the original myth and makes it relevant to kids today. A clever take on the original, this Icarus creates a kite, but doesn't always listen to his Dad's directions...you'll have to guess what happens next. The series by Joan Holub and Leslie Patricelli also includes titles such as Play Nice, Hercules and Be Patient, Pandora. If you're a fan of the original myths, this might be a good read for you to share with a little one you know. The books also include a brief summary of the original tale in child friendly language. Happy Reading!
