The Book of Mythical Beasts and Magical Creatures

Fabulous illustrations and very interesting stories and facts about mythical creatures, including cultural traditions and beliefs.

Gives you enough information to being a gateway / starting point. If you want super detailed info on each creature, this is not going to be the book for you. But, it gives you enough information to be curious and start looking into them on your own. I have an art background and can confidently say the art is absolutely gorgeous, nicely stylized, and colorful. Book arrived in good condition and is very sturdy. The subject matter was no concern for me, but it mentions things like death and general common themes for mythology. Nothing I found graphic or upsetting (the same themes are present in many children’s stories). But it wouldn’t hurt for a parent to flip through first to make sure they’re okay with the content.

Love, Love, Love this book!! The illustrations in The Book of Mythical Beasts and Magical Creatures are absolutely stunning—every page is a work of art! It's fascinating to learn about all these mythical creatures, and the visuals truly bring them to life. If you love mythology and gorgeous artwork, this book is a must-have. Highly recommend for all ages!

Well written and fun for the kids. Art work is stunning. Great book for the price! Highly highly recommend! returned to buy more from the series!

Very beautiful book for folks of any age.

Suitable for all ages

The only thing I don't like about this book is that there are no pronunciations. The pictures are beautiful, my kids love this, I just wish I didn't have to Google every name!

What an amazing series of books! We bought most of them for our 7 years and she is loving them! They are beautiful

The book is amazing the illustrations are great a value for money

El libro llegó antes de lo esperado. Las ilustraciones son preciosas. Por ponerle una pega las esquinas del libro vinieron un poco estropeadas. Lo demás en perfecto estado. Feliz con la compra.

Deverá expandir demais a imaginação da reação, ilustrações lindas. Fala um pouco de cada mundo, folclore, superstição. MT detalhes, bem legal.

My 8 YO borrowed this from the library and full on sat on the couch to read it cover to cover; he loved it!! It was detailed with enough cool facts to be interesting and readable and also summarized enough that readers don’t get bored; great pictures and would recommend!

This is the most beautiful book of mythical creatures that I have really enjoyed sharing with my kids. With chapers including Tricksters, Shapeshifters, Creatures of the Deep and Winged Wonders, this book has something for everyone and is sure to become a treasured tome! I happen to know a fair bit about folklore and mythological creatures but even so, I am learning about some new ones that I have never even heard of before, so it really is one for all the family! The illustrations are amazing and it is beautifully laid out too, as books by Dorling Kindersley so often are. There are plenty of dragons, fairies, unicorns, griffins, trolls, giants, golems, banshees and there is even a page on the Cat Sith too. This is definitely a book to keep and treasure and we all highly recommend it!
