This is a short description of different monsters and their legends from around
the world. About ten different monsters
including vampires, zombies, chupacabras and bigfoot are described with
illustrations. Then the book tries to
explain how the legends got started and myths surrounding the monsters. There is also maps showing where different
monsters are believed to originate from as well as a map of where all the water
monsters in the United States are from and their names. At the end of the book, there are also some
additional weird stories surrounding monsters.
I think this book is a fun summary of different creepy creatures. The illustrations make it spooky and fun to
look at, but also maybe a little scary for younger elementary kids. I enjoyed how the author explained where the
myths and legends came from and how they have grown over the years. Fun and interesting.
