Lugalbanda Bryan O'Keeffe I did not have any idea of this book before I read it. However after reading this book I did enjoy reading it. I read a little bit about the book after I read it and was extremely surprised at how old this story was. I really loved how the illustrations looked like they were from that time period thousands of years ago. I really enjoyed that the ancient epic was turned into a children's story. I thought that the way to illustrations were done was completely appropriate for how it should have been done. The story felt more authentic because of that. I felt that Lugalbanda could have been an actual boy during this time period. He could have also possibly helped out in the war as well. It was really nice being able to be exposed to middle eastern culture from this book. I think that kids are able to learn from this book and learn from the message; never back down in the face of adversity. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
