Beowulf, a Hero's Tale Retold

Rumford, James. Beowulf, a Hero's Tale Retold. Houghton Mifflin Co.: 2007. ISBN: 9780618756377. Ages 10 and up.

This is a hero's poem. A man named Beowulf is courageous and he will have a battle that he will never forget. The art is good. When you see the people's faces, you can see their emotions. It is sometimes funny when you see their expressions. I like the book. It was very suspenseful. My favorite part is when he fights the evil thing. I recommend this book to kids who like knights and stuff. Some words are hard to read. If you can understand the words, you will love this book. I loved it.
