Children love tales about dragons and monsters--and this large, richly illustrated book will enthrall them with its array of mythical creatures of all shapes and sizes. Here, for example, is a Cyclops, a hideous one-eyed giant from Homer's epic poem, The Odyssey. Young readers can pull a tab on that picture and expose the contents of the Cyclops's belly: He has eaten Odysseus's sailors for breakfast! From Norse mythology, readers encounter a giant saber-toothed serpent named Jörmungand, a symbol of evil--and just as frightening is Hydra, from Greek mythology, a serpent with many snarling heads. Memorable myths from England tell of fire-breathing dragons, slain in one tale by St. George, and in another by Beowulf. The book's many other unusual features include-- 
<li> A magnificent dragon poster, suitable for framing and enclosed in the book's inside cover pocket </li>
<li> A huge double-page pop-up Phoenix that rises from the ashes </li>
<li> A Labyrinth board game based on the Greek myth of the bull-man Minotaur </li>
<li> A miniature illustrated booklet with brief stories of dragon slayers . . . and more. Page after page dramatically evokes the blood-curdling cries of creatures that boys and girls will never want to meet--except, of course, in this magnificently illustrated book.</li>

<h2>Four desperate men. One dangerous gamble. No easy outcome</h2> WHEN maverick P.I. Evan Buckley wins a free trip for two to an exclusive luxury hotel buried in the mountains of upstate New York, a well-earned rest should be guaranteed. After almost meeting his maker on his last case, he needs it. But when an armed gang on the run from a botched robbery that left a man dead invade the hotel and take Evan's partner Gina hostage along with the other guests and their spirited seven-year-old daughter, Evan's got his work cut out. As the armed men become increasingly desperate and more violent, one of them develops an unhealthy obsession with Gina. Cut off from help, Evan will do anything to save her and the other hostages, but his daring plan could get them all killed if she fails to play her perilous and crucial role. And as if that wasn't enough, the old hotel has got a few shameful secrets of its own. Only one thing's for sure - there ain't no such thing as free.
