(3) K-3 Illustrated by Nicoletta Ceccoli. Ogburn's text consists of author-invented descriptive phrases to collectively describe magical creatures: "A thundering of rocs," "A dazzlement of Quetzalcoatls," "A pandemonium of fauns," etc. Ceccoli's imaginative mixed-media illustrations use plasticine, acrylics, collage, and computer graphics to give a three-dimensional look to the folkloric and mythical creatures. Further information about the imaginary beings is appended.
