Mini Myths: Make a Wish, Midas!

Midas wants everything to be his favorite color--yellow! He chooses yellow clothes, eats yellow foods, and uses only the yellow paint at his easel. But when he impulsively paints his beloved green Dinoboo, Midas discovers that too much of a good thing is a big mess! Joan Holub's carefully crafted text is brought to life by Leslie Patricelli's famously humorous illustrations. Includes a summary of the original Midas's Wish myth at the end. Also available in the Mini Myths series: Don't Get Lost, Odysseus and Good Job, Athena!
