Sightings of mermaids have been reported for centuries but were manatees. Dolphins in the Amazon River were considered to be shapeshifters. The mimic octopus can change its shape to look like sea snakes, lionfish, and flatfish.
This handy guide can explain away creatures with mythical powers, legends, and mistaken identities. Amazing photos of animals and illustrations of mythical creatures will pique the curiosity of young readers. This Level 3 Fact Reader is perfect for the fluent reader. The one hundred fun facts and resources in the back will be sure to get a reader’s attention.
Mythical Beasts is a Level 3 Fact Reader that is geared toward kids who are reading on their own. Varied sentence structures and more challenging vocabulary make these great stepping stones to chapter books. The publisher’s suggested age is 7-9, but children as young as 5 will enjoy them.
Though my 8-year-old has moved past readers to novels, she was immediately drawn to Mythical Beasts (with a cover like that who wouldn't be?). They’re great options for kids who are interested in a wide variety of topics.
