I love monsters and folklore! This is a good source for finding out about types of monsters that maybe you've never heard of. I appreciate that it mentions what culture each monster originates from. I just wish that it had even more details about the creatures. However, this book is a good jumping-off point for initially learning about the monsters, so I can do further research on them later if I'd like. The only thing I didn't like about it was the drawings made all the monsters look really cutesy. I think having scarier illustrations would be more fitting to the content of the book.
