Gr 5-8- Each volume begins with background information and then goes on to give various examples and findings regarding the topic. Creatures includes the Kraken, lake monsters, and sea serpents; Lost Cities has chapters on Atlantis, Camelot, El Dorado, and Shangri-La; and Monsters includes the Abominable Snowman; the mapinguari, giant sloths believed to live in the Amazon rainforests; and the chupacabra, a creature supposedly first sighted in Puerto Rico. The detailed texts are more factual than sensational with full-color photos and illustrations to substantiate findings, but there are no bibliographies.-Judy Chichinski, Skyline Elementary School, Tacoma, WA
