Hercules by Robert Burleigh

Grade:  1-3

Summary:  Journey back to ancient Greece and meet the greatest hero who ever lived—Hercules! He kills the savage lion; he destroys the dreaded, nine-headed hydra; he captures the guarded golden apples from the end of the earth. With eleven difficult tasks behind him, he now must face the last and most terrifying. To bring back the three-headed monster dog, Cerberus, Hercules must enter the Underworld—where the dead go—and come back alive! 

Clad in the magic pelt of the lion, Hercules ferries across the River Styx and descends into the realm of Hades. Tension mounts as Hercules tussles with the snakey, three-headed beast, fighting for his freedom, and overtaking Cerberus bare-handed.
