Title: Greece! Rome! Monsters!
Presenter(s): Connie Powers, Docent
Description: Join us for our Read and Look program in the museum galleries on select weekends! We will take over a corner of the museum to read the book Greece! Rome! Monsters! by John Harris, then find related artifacts and art on display. This program is great for our younger visitors, ages 4–8. All children must be accompanied by an adult.
Everybody’s heard of a centaur, but not everyone has seen a blue centaur dressed to head out to a disco! He’s one of the updated mythological creatures who populate Greece! Rome! Monsters!. This book presents 20 creepy creatures—from harpies to Medusa herself to the fire-breathing Chimera—in jazzy retellings by John Harris, with eye-popping illustrations by Southern California illustrator Calef Brown. Together, the words and pictures provide children (and grown-ups!) with close encounters of the mythological kind.
