We liked Pegasus - once we’d completed the book we researched Chimeras and found out that Pegasus was born from Medusa’s body after she had had her head cut off!

I though is a good book story showing bravery and courage but Bellerophon got himself into trouble with the gods who taught him a lesson. We should not be naughty

It was nice and easy to read .. I loved it when Athena gave the gold bridle to Bellerophon . The worst bit was when the Chimera was killed, it was too bloody.
