Mythology Bee

My school just received the Percy Jackson Mythology Bee kit. It is so cool. There is a wonderful medal for the winner of the bee and buttons for all the finalists. There's a nice certificate signed by Rick Riordan for the winner. And the winner gets to enter a drawing for a trip to Greece with Rick Riordan. Too cool. Second prize is a week at Camp Half Blood. The teachers are looking forward to holding the bee and we will probably wait until March so that all the kids can have time to learn about Greek mythology. We have the spelling bee coming up in January so one thing at a time.

Today's podcast is for Lynn Curlee's book on mythological creatures.

Curlee, Lynn. MYTHOLOGICAL CREATURES : A CLASSICAL BESTIARY : TALES OF STRANGE BEINGS, FABULOUS CREATURES, FEARSOME BEASTS, & HIDEOUS MONSTERS FROM ANCIENT
GREEK MYTHOLOGY

Who doesn't love reading about mythology? All those great beasts and monsters! But do you sometimes forget which is which? Is the Minotaur half horse or half bull? Which one is the goat? Well, this is the book for you. Read about those fabulous creatures and bone up on your knowledge of mythological creatures.
