Hercules is not as interested in playing nice as he is in playing strong! But when one feat of strength destroys his little sisters 12-piece tower, he must use his powers for good to restore the tower and seek her forgiveness. She forgives him indeed, and then shows her own strength by gleefully knocking down the stacked blocks herself! Joan Holubs expertly focused text pairs perfectly with Leslie Patricellis famously humorous illustrations. Includes a summary of the original Herculess Twelve Labors myth at the end. Praise for Mini-Myths Play Nice, Hercules! These adorable volumes feature the title characters learning important life lessons with slight allusions to their Greek mythology counterparts. --School Library Journal,
