Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly
Monsters and fantastical creatures have long been the stuff of youngsters' most vivid fantasies. Here Walker ( The Method ) plays to those imaginings in an unusual blend of fiction and nonfiction starring seven legendary creatures from Bigfoot to the Kongamato--a pterodactyl-like creature said to live in southern Africa. Each appears in a hair-raising fictional encounter between a child and that creature, followed by a brief summary of the evidence for its actual existence. An introduction cites examples of large animals until recently unknown to science, such as the okapi and mountain gorilla. Noonan contributes forceful watercolor "portraits" of each creature and pleasing sepia-toned spot art. Attractively designed--in a manner somewhat similar to Virginia Hamilton's substantial anthologies--this uncommon hybrid should find a ready audience waiting to be scared. Ages 8-up.

From School Library Journal
Grade 4-6-- A collection of seven original tales interspersed with facts about legendary creatures--Bigfoot, the Loch Ness Monster, the Yeti, the Almas, the Lusca, the Mokele-Mbembe, and the Kongamato. Each chapter begins with a story about a teenager encountering the creature, followed by a page of information printed in italics about sightings and speculations. The writing is a little melodramatic, and there is no indication that the stories are fictional except on the flap copy. There is a full-page oil painting in each chapter, as well as smaller sepia-toned illustrations. They are of average quality, and add no detail or excitement to the text. Layout is good--there is a lot of text on each page but in large size type, and with good spacing and enough white space so as not to appear daunting. --JoAnn Rees, Sunnyvale Pub . Lib . , CA

5.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining and educational, May 8, 2000
By A Customer
My nine-year-old son loves this book. He says, "I like it because you can learn about monsters from different countries. It has real information that scientists have found." I am buying it because we checked it out of the library and he wanted to re-type all of the stories so he could read them over and over again.

4.0 out of 5 stars Couldn't help myself, April 25, 2006
By Ima Librarian II (Scottsdale, AZ) - See all my reviews
My 2nd grader grandson checked this out from his library and began reading me one of the stories while we were driving. We talked about the book and his opinion of it. He loved it! and I liked the story that he had read. Our library didn't have anything like it so I couldn't help myself...I bought it! NOTE: It is out of print.
