Description
This title is suitable for children aged 9 years old and up. This title helps you experience literature's greatest epic as never before! This phenomenal new graphic novel retelling of Homer's classic epic is the creation of multitalented artist Sam Ita, author of the bestselling pop-up versions of "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" (9781402757761); "Moby-Dick" (9781402745287) and "Frankenstein". It's amazing art and papercraft transport readers right to the heart of "Odysseus'" decade-long adventure, from a gatefold that brings you inside the mythical Trojan Horse to the movable oars on "Odysseus'" boat and a pull-tab in the Circe sequence that magically transforms a man into a pig.
