Mythical Creatures

From the mists of time, creatures of all shapes and sizes - from hybrid human beasts to deadly winged creatures and terrifying ogres - have induced fascination and fear in equal measure. In myths all over the world, monsters terrify villages, rampage around the countryside, guard treasure, or lie in wait for unsuspecting travellers. And their confrontations with legendary heroes, such as Odysseus, Jason and St George, have resulted in epic battles that still enthral children and adults alike. Mythical Creatures sets out some of the most fantastical beings to haunt the dreams and imaginations of mankind. Each spread features a different category of beasts. Special items integrated into the book's pages bring a unique interactive connection to the creatures featured, including a labyrinth game, a booklet of dragon slayers, and a pop-up of the phoenix rising from the ashes. Mythical Creatures will stir young imaginations, fascinate, educate and bring a shiver to the spine...
