Week 1 Storybook Favorites

The first storybook I looked at was Robin Hood: The Lost Journals. I picked this one because Robin Hood was one of my absolute favorite stories as a child. This story was done as if giving a report on a great discovery. In the introduction a brief history was given first and then they recounted the story of the finding of a set of journals written from the points of view of people involved with Robin Hood. I thought this was a really creative way of telling the story. I also really liked the design of their page. I thought the colors they used were very fitting of the story they did and they navigation was very easy.

The second storybook I looked at was Fairytale Case Files. I picked this one because it sounded really interesting and I love a good mystery. Of all the pages this one had my favorite design. The navigation was really user friendly and I really liked the dark background with the light font. I also really liked their use of a gradient. Their stories were a neat fun way to put a new twist on some old well known fairy tales. The introduction was well written and I absolutely had to read more after reading it.

The third storybook I looked at was The Legend of Odysseus. I picked this one because in high school I got really interested in Greek mythology. I liked the fact that the introduction took the form of a conversation and wasn't just say a first person narrative. I thought this was a different and fun way to engage readers into the story from the beginning. I also liked the continuous flow from one story to another. It felt as if they were all connected and part of one cohesive work.

Overall I liked all three stories and felt they were written really well with a creativity that was very engaging.
