great submitted by Ele Z. on August 3, 2011, 6:01pm good

bland and moralistic submitted by camelsamba on September 20, 2011, 10:51am I suppose this is a useful way to introduce kids to the King Midas myth (legend? story?). But wow! It's preachy and moralistic. And all the adults are so dismissive of John - was that true to the era (originally published 1952), or just another example of the annoying writing style? My 8yo said it was kind of cheesy but liked it well enough as we read it. The 11yo (who read it to himself) said it was too predictable.
