With chapers including Tricksters, Shapeshifters, Creatures of the Deep and Winged Wonders, this book has something for everyone and is sure to become a treasured tome! I happen to know a fair bit about folklore and mythological creatures but even so, I am learning about some new ones that I have never even heard of before, so it really is one for all the family!The illustrations are amazing and it is beautifully laid out too, as books by Dorling Kindersley so often are. There are plenty of dragons, fairies, unicorns, griffins, trolls, giants, golems, banshees and there is even a page on the Cat Sith too. This is definitely a book to keep and treasure and we all highly recommend it!

Gorgeous book that’s now firmly on our gifting list. Have bought for ages 5-8 and everyone loved it. My son has had this for 3 years and still looks at it and has learnt so much about mythical creatures. We love it.

My son wanted a book on Mythical Creatures and after reading Bolo reviews, we chose this one. He says “It’s a lovely book for children to develop their knowledge about mythical creatures.” Each page has a beautiful illustration and 4-5 paragraphs of writing. I think the thing we’d like to improve is the quality of the paper. As the paper is more ‘dull’ rather than shiny and bright, the illustrations aren’t shown off to the best - the colours could be more vibrant. But still, we really liked it and would highly recommend it. Ps my son can read the book with some help as lots of difficult unknown and new words and vocab

He liked this loads because...- lots of beasts- fun to read about a wide variety- beasts from all over the world- grouped helpfully- good for a quick VIPERS style shared read

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful book for all ages.

Whilst being aimed primarily towards children, I see no reason why this book can't be enjoyed by all ages. Stunning illustrations, followed by insightful descriptions of each beast and creature. Each page provides some history as well as a story, in addition they provide alternative page numbers to beast and creatures linked to the creature. I can not recommend this book strongly enough, a great addition to any collection.

El libro llegó antes de lo esperado. Las ilustraciones son preciosas. Por ponerle una pega las esquinas del libro vinieron un poco estropeadas. Lo demás en perfecto estado. Feliz con la compra.

Vale MT a pena
