Why read it?
1 author picked Cryptid Creatures as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book features short sections on over 50 cryptids. Spot illustrations occur throughout, which I love because itās nice to see an example of the creature being discussed.
The short history of the cryptid, along with witness descriptions and sightings, makes it an interesting read. I also love the authorās āscientific rankingā of each cryptid, along with her personal opinion as to how much she believes the cryptid might be real. Overall, I love this book for its basic info on a bunch of cryptids. Fun read!
From Kim's list on middle grade books featuring cryptids.
