Featuring more than 70 characters from 23 cultures around the world, this A-to-Z encyclopedia of mythology is a who's who of powerful gods and goddesses, warriors and kings, enchanted creatures and earthshaking giants whose stories have been passed down since the beginning of timeand are now given fresh life for a new generation of young readers. Plus, You'll Learn All About: Dragons: The Hydra, St. George's Dragon, and the Australian Rainbow Snake Giants: Grendel, Balor of the Evuil Eye, Polyphemus, and the Purusha with the thousand heads Monsters: Manticore, Sphinx, Minotaur, Thunderbird, and Echidne, mother of the Nemean lion that nearly killed Heracles Underworlds: Travel to Hades, Valhalla, and the Elysian Fields

I signed up for the #MythsandLegendsSwap run by @MeganAnn and I did a horrible job with the sign up because I couldn‘t find books I‘d like to read and ahhhhhh.... I have a couple that I‘m not interested in but, honestly, I‘m pretty open to any myths/legends.

GlassAsDiamonds 😂😂😂😂 So did I!! I feel so sorry for my match, I feel like I was *useless* but how do you choose? 🤦🏻‍♀️😂🤦🏻‍♀️😂🤦🏻‍♀️ 5y
jpmcwisemorgan @GlassAsDiamonds I actually had a couple that I said I wouldn‘t be interested in but, for the most part, I‘m pretty much ok with most books in myths/legends because I enjoy reading them. I just couldn‘t think of any that I‘ve really liked because my brain turned off. 5y
MeganAnn You can always make a list of books for your match and post it later! Or your match can surprise you 😉 I love surprise books myself! @jpmcwisemorgan @GlassAsDiamonds I think you both filled out your forms just fine! 5y
jpmcwisemorgan @MeganAnn Yay! And I‘m good with surprises. 5y
GlassAsDiamonds @jpmcwisemorgan sounds like you were nowhere near as useless as me! I was so tired I was like a kid in a candy shop “I‘ll have one of ANYTHING (except black licorice )” 😂😂😂 @MeganAnn - thanks! Surprise books FTW! 😊😊😊😊😊 5y
