I liked that King Midas gave away his powers at the end after learning that his daughter was more important than all the gold he could wish for. I would definitely recommend this book to others.

About a great king who was very foolish and greedy who could change everything into gold. I would it for kids 5 years and above.

I liked it when the king said he wanted to have gold - when he touches stuff, he makes it turn into gold. When he ate his dinner, that turned into gold!

The story is about a king,I hated it and loved it. I loved the beginning because he didn't have magic powers. I hated the middle when he got magic powers because everything he touched turned into gold.

He was very foolish. He didn't think through his wish. He was lucky dionysius allowed him to take his wish back.
