John Harris
Illustrated by Calef Brown

Everybody’s heard of a centaur, but not everyone has seen a blue centaur dressed to head out to a disco! He’s one of the updated mythological creatures who populate Greece! Rome! Monsters!

This book presents the story of twenty creepy creatures from harpies to Medusa herself to the fire-breathing Chimaera in jazzy retellings and with eye-popping illustrations. 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.

Ages five and up.

John Harris is a former senior editor at Getty Publications. Southern California illustrator Calef Brown’s children’s books include Polkabats and Octopus Slacks and Dutch Sneakers and Flea Keepers. His work has appeared in Time, Newsweek, and other publications.
