Gr 4-6-Garish covers (large on toothy fierceness) herald these additions to the series. All three present a historical overview of the featured creature and look at them as depicted in folklore, literature, film, and the media. Bigfoot and Dragons also examine the probability of these creatures' existence. A glossary of "mysterious animals" is offered in Bigfoot. The chatty, occasionally flip texts ("Egyptian priests are hard to please," for example) are larded with photos and other illustrations (often with a nice ick! factor). The titles are adequate for cryptozoology fans, but readers might have more fun with some of the books listed for further reading or, with an ample supply of hot buttered popcorn, watching a couple of the movies.-Patricia Manning, formerly at Eastchester Public Library, NY Copyright 2007 Reed Business Information.
