About this item:

Meet your favorite monsters, 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 children 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 in every page, this myth book offers:

- The facts behind each myth for a deeper understanding.
- Insights into cultures from around the world and their creation stories.
- Beautiful full-color illustrations by Pham Quang Phuc.

Mythical Beasts and Magical Creatures is the only kids’ guide to magical creatures that explores the history behind the mythology in both an engaging and educational way. Read the supernatural stories that bring the history of mythology and magical creatures to life, and explore the societies that birthed these legendary creatures found in narratives from Ancient Greek mythology, Australian and Native American folktales. From narwhal tusks inspiring the legend of unicorns, to dinosaur bones creating rumours of dragons, there is an interesting story behind every magical beast.

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.

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.

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

The media could not be loaded. Deverá expandir demais a imaginação da reação, ilustrações lindas. Fala um pouco de cada mundo, folclore, superstição.MT detalhes, bem legal.

Great for kids!

My 8 YO borrowed this from the library and full on sat on the couch to read it cover to cover; he loved it!! It was detailed with enough cool facts to be interesting and readable and also summarized enough that readers don’t get bored; great pictures and would recommend!
