This warm and funny picture book introduces children to Cerberus, the three-headed guard dog of Greek mythology - and turns the scariest creature in the underworld into a hero a four-year-old can love!
In short, rhythmic sentences made for reading aloud, Orson Vale, creator of The Little Myths Library, tells the story of Bark, Watch and Sniff: three heads that never want the same thing, and the day they learn to be one good dog.
Every book in The Little Myths Library tells a single Greek myth the way a child should meet it for the first time - simply, kindly and with a laugh - in glowing watercolour illustrations, with an About the Real Cerberus page at the end that retells the original legend in plain words for curious readers and their grown-ups. Written in Greece, where these stories were first told.
With its gentle lesson about listening and teamwork, Three Heads, One Good Dog is a must-have first Greek myth for every child's bookshelf and a perfect gift for birthdays, first days of school, and dog lovers of all ages.
The first wave of The Little Myths Library: Cerberus - Pandora - Medusa - the Minotaur - Zeus - Athena - Hades - the Trojan Horse - the Cyclops - Persephone.
