This book presents the story of twenty creepy creaturesfrom harpies to Medusa herself to the fire-breathing Chimaerain jazzy retellings by John Harris, with eye-popping illustrations by Southern California illustrator Calef Brown. Together, the words and pictures provide children (and grownups!) with close encounters of the mythological kind.
Includes a bonus pronunciation guide and a pop quiz that will test to see if young readers have REALLY been paying attention. For ages five and up.
