31st October 2025 Toys & Games

AD | gifted – There is no doubt that the Bear is in her Percy Jackson era! Her birthday was spent at the stage show and her free time is spent lost in the books. Thanks to Yoto, now she also falls to sleep lost in mythology, adventure and a good chunk of humour.

Rick Riordan’s Percy Jackson series has become a modern classic for YA readers. Packed with Greek mythology, relatable characters, and laugh-out-loud moments, these stories have a way of pulling kids (and adults if I’m honest!) into a world where gods, monsters, and heroes collide.

What’s Included?

The Percy Jackson Collection features the first five books in the series:

• The Lightning Thief
• The Sea of Monsters
• The Titan’s Curse
• The Battle of the Labyrinth
• The Last Olympian

Each card unlocks hours of storytelling magic, narrated in a way that keeps listeners hooked from start to finish.

Why We Love It

Screen-Free Entertainment
In a world where screens dominate so much of our children’s time, Yoto offers a refreshing alternative. The Percy Jackson Collection is perfect for those moments when you want to keep kids entertained without relying on tablets or phones. Whether it’s a long car journey, a quiet afternoon at home, or winding down before bed, these cards provide hours of captivating storytelling that doesn’t involve staring at a screen. It’s a win for parents who value balance and a break for kids’ eyes too!

Immersive Narration
One of the standout features of this collection is the narration. The voice acting is dynamic and engaging, bringing Percy and his friends to life in a way that feels authentic and exciting. Every character has personality, and the pacing keeps listeners hooked from start to finish. It’s not just reading, it’s a performance that makes the world of Greek gods and mythical creatures leap out of the speakers.

Educational Twist
Here’s the best part: while kids are completely absorbed in Percy’s adventures, they’re also learning. The series is packed with references to Greek mythology—gods, heroes, monsters, and ancient legends—all woven into a modern, relatable storyline. Without even realizing it, children pick up knowledge about classical myths, cultural history, and even moral lessons about bravery, friendship, and resilience. It’s education disguised as entertainment, and that’s something we can all get behind.
