Description

"Thirteen stories of the silly, delightful mythological god Pan and his family are compiled in this picture book. When Pan is born, his distinguishing curly horns, beard and goat legs frighten away the nurse; others immediately love and admire him. His presence changes Mount Olympus from a peaceful place to one of confusion and havoc. He skips, dances, shrieks, leaps, races, yowls, claps, and jumps throughout the story, never stopping for a moment. Tired of Olympus, he heads to Arcadia, finding nymphs, flowers, people and creatures everywhere. There Pan repeatedly falls inlove. He invents 'panic,' he kisses Hercules and is tossed out a window, he challenges Apollo to a music contest, and more. Gerstein's version widly exhuberant artwork conveys the noise and confusion that characterizes Pan himself." From Publishers Weekly
