This offbeat directory of mythical beasts, including Medusa, Pegasus, and the Cyclops, fashions each creature out of edgy collage, which incorporates handwritten captions and eyes cut from black-and-white photos. The overall effect is striking and approachable, but the highly personalized depictions will be best appreciated by those with a working knowledge of Greek myths.

This book offers a lot to look at, including drawings of fourteen different kinds of dog ears on one page, and on another, a figure to trace to "make your own dog." The frantic illustrations and sophisticated collages will be of more interest to adult dog lovers than children. A dog-bone shaped bookmark is included, attached by a string.
