ONLY ONE MORE WEEK UNTIL THE NEW PERCY JACKSON BOOK!!!

Yep, only 7 more days until the biggest thrill of the season!! Oh, boy!! Oh, boy!! All that action! All that humor! And just what is Kronos's "most terrible secret?" CAN'T WAIT!!!

And in the Percy Jackson spirit, here are some pictures from our Heroes Bold From Days of Lore program that I did today about the 12 Labors of Hercules:

Hercules grieves over an awful deed and finds out that he must serve his nasty, low-down, weakling cousin Eurystheus to make things right.

Hercules finds out about the Augean stables. P-YEWWW!!!!

Hercules dodges the three heads of Cereberus and puts his mighty arm around that massive dog's neck.

Do you know these stories? They're really exciting! You can find them in a good book of mythology, especially :

D'Aulaire's Book of Greek Myths by Ingri and Edgar Parin D'Aulaire--one of the best collections of Greek myths ever printed, with an especially section of the Labors of Hercules

and

Hercules--retold by Geraldine McCaughrean -a really good chapter book version of the story.

Until later,

Carl
