A hilarious and heartfelt picture book by Steph Lau that puts a new spin on the misunderstood mythological character Medusa. Perfect for fans of We Don't Eat Our Classmates and the Penelope Rex series by Ryan Higgins.
Medusa's always been the odd one out: the monster in the classroom, the kid who can't tame her snake-laden hair, and yes, the girl who perhaps accidentally zapped a few too many class pets. She tries to be careful. She tries to stay away, but inevitably well . . . ZAP! It always leaves her feeling just a little bit monstrous.
But there just might be a class pet that even Medusa can enjoy, one who will teach her how monstrously wonderful it is to be seen--by being herself.
With its humor and important themes, Medusa's Pet Rock is sure to enchant young readers as it's:
- A Clever Spin on Medusa's Story: Everyone thinks they know the story of Medusa and her snake hair that turns people into stone. Medusa's Pet Rock introduces young readers to an infamously misunderstood character from Greek mythology in an accessible and age-appropriate way.
- Perfect for fans of Greek Mythology
- Teaches Young Readers to Stay True to Themselves: Medusa struggles to fit in with her classmates but as her relationship with the new class pet grows, she learns to love herself and comes to understand that true friends will see and love you for who you are.
