My Review

My kids loved this rich and sumptous feeling retelling of the story of Pegasus and Bellerophon. The illustrations are amazing - each one is like something on the wall of a Renaissance art gallery. It's not trendy and modern, but it is epic! Great for reading aloud, or for independent readers to get lost in too.

Heads Up!

This is another one hard to find new - look for secondhand online.

Publisher Review

Condemned by a jealous king, Bellerophon must win the trust of the legendary winged horse or face death, in a story that follows the friendship of horse and man through the dramatic slaying of the fire-breathing Chimera.
