Title: GOLD! 

Author: David Shannon 

Genre: Children’s Picture Book, Classic Retelling 

 

Rating: 2/5 

 

Review: 

GOLD! Is an adorable retelling of the classic myth of Midas. It’s simplistic writing is effective though the rhyming can be awkward at times and the ending is a bit abrupt/confusing. 

 

It was a fun little read with decent artwork and a good enough message. 

 

Might not be one of the books I revisit more than once or twice, however.
