Monsters & Creatures (Dungeons & Dragons): A Young Adventurer's Guide, by Andrew Wheeler, Stacy King, Jim Zub

4.0

Thank you Edelweiss+ for a free copy of this book for an honest review.

I am an avid D&D player, as well as running three games, I play in an additional two. I also, help host a D&D game at work for teens/tweens. Monsters & Creatures is a wonderful companion piece for that tweens and youth.

I love the illustrations! They are wonderfully done.

Things I enjoyed about the book:

1. There is a Table of Contents
2. at the end of each "region" there is an encounter option. That has a little story and a possible what would you do.
3. It describes the size, powers, lair, and a do/don't do list (I love this!)

Things I wish were there:

1. (this is the biggest and only thing I would love to have seen) are the stats of the creatures that are being talked about.

Overall, I really enjoyed the book, content and illustrations. Do I think it's helpful for emerging D&D players? Most definitely. Gives them a little bit of information in order to know what they might be getting into when playing a game!
