Storybook Favorites

The first storybook that I looked at was Murders in the Bible. This storybook really caught my attention because of the name. The design of the storybook is very professional looking as well and it looks like the author really put a lot of time and effort into it. The content is also very interesting. The story is told from the point of view of a killer who murders others for things that they had done in their past, and each of the stories in the storybook are related to famous murders that occurred in the bible.

Another storybook that I enjoyed reading was The Trickster of OU. This storybook is about a student at the University of Oklahoma who decides that he wants to be a notorious figure at OU. He plans out several different pranks as the OU Police Department officers struggle to find out who the mysterious “Trickster” is and put an end to the pranks. In the end, though, David Boren discovers the identity of the “Trickster”. This story is very creative and well-written, and it also leaves the reader wondering about what exactly happens to the person after Boren confronts him.

The last storybook that I checked out was the Greek Game Show. I enjoy Greek mythology, and all of the characters in this storybook are famous figures from Greek mythology. All of the characters gather and compete in a game show on Mount Olympus. The contest is a type of trivia game, so the majority of the story consists of dialogue between the characters and the host of the game show. This storybook was very entertaining and I enjoyed reading it.

I really enjoyed these three storybooks, as well as several others that I did not write about. As far as the layouts, the Murders in the Bible storybook was my favorite. A screenshot of that storybook is pictured below.
