This fun little book is meant for young readers. Each of the thirteen "monsters" is given two (facing) brightly illustrated pages, with some cute text arranged in rhyming form. Really, the book shows two children and their dog, as they travel around the world meeting a fantastic creature from every continent. This is a really fun book to share with the young reader in your life. Or, as in my case, it's a fun book to share with your too-young to read child - I have found that rhyming makes books lots of fun for little ones. Anyway, we highly recommend this book to you!

This book is a rhyming field guide to monsters from around the world. Each monster gets a two-page spread with a humorous rhyming description and a small box with some additional concise information. The book also includes a global map showing the home locations of each of the monsters The book is suitable for kids aged 4-9, depending on how brave they are. Some of the pictures, while comical, arent exactly accurate, like the one showing a moose harnessed to a sled in Eskimo lands. After all, reindeer, not moose, are harnessed to sleds, and only in Scandinavia, not in Greenland. But overall, the book provides an interesting cultural adventure for monster maniacs. It contains about 1200 words.
