Reviews

"""Seven beasts are profiled in each volume of this illuminating series that covers creatures from different cultures and legendary traditions. Some of the creatures included in the four-page accounts might be unknown to students. Exposing them to beasts they haven't heard of or read about before helps them understand the global universality and importance of myths through the ages. . . . Profiles are brief, fast-paced, well written, and full of information; their conversational, at times tongue-in-cheek tone is clearly focused on enhancing reading enjoyment."" --School Library Journal, Series Made Simple (Series Review)"
