This is the eBook of The Weird Animal Hour. 
 
Have you ever seen a monarch butterfly-dragon? How about a sloth-mermaid? Or a polar bear-werewolf?
 
In this madcap anthology, you will find 60 WEIRD ANIMALS that combine mythical creatures with endangered species. Each illustration comes accompanied by a fun write-up about the animal combo and shares ideas for how you can help endangered wildlife. 
 
Readers will marvel at the inventive illustrated mash-ups while learning real facts about mythology and animal conservation. From the award-winning team who brought you Thorn the Unicorn, The Weird Animal Hour makes for a great introduction to cryptozoology and environmentalism for middle-grade readers and animal lovers of all ages.
 
By the way, did you know… the book’s cover glows in the dark?! Now that’s WEIRD!
