I really enjoyed the second half of Kincaid’s version of
Krishna’s life. It held my interest and
even started me thinking that parts of it could be retold in my storybook. I really liked getting a better idea of who
Krishna was supposed to be and to read about his adventures. It does seem
reminiscent of the Ramayana and Mahabharata in many ways, but I suppose it is
another retelling of the incarnation of Vishnu on earth. I’m really looking forward to getting into
some fun new stories now. I enjoyed
these, but I’m excited to start something new next week. I need to find another juicy story to retell
in my storybook!
I actually wrote my story while reading this week so I didn't really see any reason to do real reading notes. Kind of defeats the purpose if you have already written the story!
