As one 6th Grade Social Studies teacher in Lemon Grove CA said, “When it comes to the ancient cultures we study in sixth grade in California, Bernarda Bryson’s Gilgamesh: Man’s First Story carries the same kind of value as found in D’Aulaire’s Book of Greek Myths. I used my class set of Gilgamesh and we all loved it. . . . Thanks for making the book available.”
