Meet your favorite monsters, dragons, fairies, heroes, and tricksters from all around the world in this guide to mythical creatures.

Enter the enchanting world of mythical creatures from all around the world and explore the history behind them in this illustrated mythology book for kids aged 5-9.

Say hello to Bigfoot in the forests of North America and learn about the Native American traditions that inspired its story. Voyage to Japan to meet kitsune, supernatural nine-tailed foxes that can turn into humans. Then jump onboard an ancient storm-battered ship to learn why mermaids were the last thing a sailor wanted to see! Learn about the societies that spawned these legendary creatures, from Ancient Greece to the indigenous tribes of Australia, and find out what the beasts tell us about the people who created them.

With magic and mystery on every page, this book of mythology for kids offers:

From narwhal tusks inspiring the legend of unicorns to dinosaur bones creating rumors of dragons, there is an interesting story behind every mythical creature.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Art !

I. · December 30, 2024

Gives you enough information to being a gateway / starting point. If you want super detailed info on each creature, this is not going to be the book for you. But, it gives you enough information to be curious and start looking into them on your own. I have an art background and can confidently say the art is absolutely gorgeous, nicely stylized, and colorful. Book arrived in good condition and is very sturdy.The subject matter was no concern for me, but it mentions things like death and general common themes for mythology. Nothing I found graphic or upsetting (the same themes are present in many children’s stories). But it wouldn’t hurt for a parent to flip through first to make sure they’re okay with the content.

5.0 out of 5 stars The most beautiful illustrations!!!

This is honestly one of the coolest books I’ve ever gotten for my kids. The information inside is wonderful and the illustrations are absolutely beautiful. This book even had my non-reader husband interested in reading it!

What an amazing series of books! We bought most of them for our 7 years and she is loving them! They are beautiful

4.0 out of 5 stars Decent book for kids

K.L. · October 24, 2024

I was looking for a cryptid book for a 10 year old; informative but not too graphic or scary. This fits the bill. Has a lot of unique creatures and myths and my son has enjoyed it. It dabbles in creatures and legends from different cultures all over the world. Took off one star because it is missing some creatures I thought would have bee obvious to include. Most notable example would be bigfoot (who is actually mentioned in the description of the book; so odd he/she is not in the book). Overall I think it is good book for younger kids (probably age 12 and under) and is a good introduction to the world of myths and monster legends.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect gift for my little reader!

Beautiful Book og Mythical Creatures

R. · September 16, 2024

This is the most beautiful book of mythical creatures that I have really enjoyed sharing with my kids. 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!
