What reviewers said
"A gallery of strange creatures of lore, from dragons to eaters of gold and dreams....young monster hunters may find some fresh quarry."
"This is a book for nerds, in the most praiseworthy sense of that statement. Bookish kiddos will delight in poring over each fact and anecdote in the pages…. The stories are highlighted through simple, colorful illustrations in dreamy watercolor and ink…. A fantastical feast for the brain and eyes."
