Cryptid Creatures: A Field Guide by Kelly Milner Halls

4.0

An interesting book for kids, on an interesting subject. What kid isn't intrigued by mysterious creatures like Bigfoot, Nessie, and so many others? This handy guide will give the kiddos a good run-down of cryptids, including a reality rating system, with one star denoting a proven hoax (like Piltdown Man), 6 stars a creature that's been proven real (like the coelacanth), and the varying degrees of likelihood in between. Each creatures gets a few sketches, done field notebook-style, showing an adult, a juvenile, and a skull. The information on each creature includes where it's found, when it was first sited, eyewitness accounts, etc. This would be a fun addition to any child's book collection, and will most likely be added to my nephews' library when they get a little older.
