{"product_id":"king-midas-the-golden-touch-9780689832970","title":"King Midas: The Golden Touch","description":"King Midas is a proud and foolish king who loves gold above all else. In return for helping him one day, a satyr grants the king his dearest wish -- all that he touches will turn to gold. For a time, the king enjoys his gift. But then the food he puts to his mouth turns to gold so he cannot eat. And the horse he mounts turns to gold so he cannot ride. And everyone he touches turns to gold so he no longer has any family or friends. He has all the gold he could ever want, but he's not at all happy. \u003cbr\u003e How King Midas learns his lesson and finds happiness is the heart of this classic Greek myth, brought to new life by award-winning artist Demi's own golden touch. Sparkling with the colors of the Aegean Sea and with the splendor of gold, this elegant and humorous retelling of an ancient myth will be cherished by readers of all ages.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eDemi:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Demi is the award-winning creator of numerous books for children, including \"The Empty Pot\";\" Buddha\";\" The Dalai Lama\";\" The Legend of Saint Nicholas\";\" Gandhi\", which was named a \"New York Times\" Best Illustrated Book and received an Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Platinum Award; and \"Muhammad\", which was named a Kirkus Reviews Editors Choice selection, a Booklist Editors Choice selection, one of the Booklist Top Ten Religion Books for Youth, and a Book Links Lasting Connections selection, and was cited in a \"Publishers Weekly\" starred review as a timely, exceptionally handsome biography [that] serves as an excellent introduction to Islam.
