      Gr 2-5-Well-written texts capture creatures' characteristics, abilities, and powers; their historical, cultural, and legendary backgrounds are compared and contrasted. Each fact-filled volume opens with an appealing story. Impressive illustrations often demonstrate the creatures' universality. Different cultures' artwork may depict variations in creatures' skin tones; maps show the global spread of stories or indicate where stories about certain creatures flourished. Special features include labeled QR codes and access to various learning tools. The "Making Connections" section (and a QR code) contains "Text-to-Self," "Text-to-Text," and "Text-to-World" questions. "Did You Know?" and other sidebars provide additional facts. An informative pictorial time line highlights occurrences of the creatures through time and cultures and depicts their appearances in art, literature, and popular media. VERDICT Recommended for schools and public libraries. In myths units, have students write, tell, or illustrate original stories about the creatures.
