Now see them brought to life like never before, as acclaimed author and artist Lynn Curlee turns his brush to a subject that is unlike any other to create a work of boundless creativity and beauty. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e From the fierce Chimera, who is part lion, goat, and serpent; to the magnificent Phoenix that rises from its own ashes; to the story of Jason and the Golden Fleece; to the legend of Perseus and the Gorgon Medusa; to the noble winged horse, Pegasus; to Cerberus, the three-headed watchdog of Hades, Mr. Curlee explores the characters of the myths and legends that have been told and retold for thousands of years. \u003cbr\u003e i\u0026gt; brings to life a world where lowly mortals can either be favored or destroyed by powerful gods and goddesse and where kings and queens must bow down before Zeus and his brethren. It is a place where nymphs and centaurs roam to the music of Pan's flute and the hungry Cyclops and Minotaur lurk in the shadows -- a magical place of love, danger, and imagination.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Atheneum Books for Young Readers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/04\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781416914532\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 40\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.21lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.18h x 11.37w x 0.49d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Review - Children\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2008 pg. 39\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHorn Book Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2008 pg. 226\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2008 pg. 113\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2008 pg. 43\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2008 - Superior,Well Above Average\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2008 pg. 400 - Superior,Well Above Average\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e121580 \/ Mythological Creatures: A Classical Bestiary\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 7 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Middle Grade \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 1\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Lynn Curlee","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44112831283381,"sku":"9781416914532","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_6662e032-7cb9-4645-bbb2-f29e65f1a832.jpg?v=1715054872","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/mythological-creatures-a-classical-bestiary-9781416914532","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
