3.0 out of 5 stars Short read for kids, November 9, 2004

This review is from: The Mystery of Vampires and Werewolves (Can Science Solve?) (Library Binding)
This book gives some basic information about vampires and werewolves and ponders over the fact if they could truly exist. You get to read about old legends, some of which are pretty gruesome, but interesting. The book also handles some possible scientific causes of vampirism and lycanthropy, like rabies or brain poisoning. The chapter isn't very long, but it is still an informative read.

Overall, the book has been put together nicely, but it is a very short read for kids. It is stated that this book is targeted for children from 9 to 12 years, but I'm pretty sure that kids of those ages are usually quite fluent readers. (We are living the times of Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings, after all!) With 32 pages, large text and pictures, the book doesn't take a lot of time to read. Also, the pages have some pictures on them, but only a few actually show you vampires or werewolves.
