Series review: Graphic Mythical Creatures
Mythical creatures and legendary monsters fill the pages of these short stories with excitement and mystery. The storyline at times borders on humor, while historical background and photos are provided at the beginning of each book. The illustrations are similar throughout and lure students who love the thrill of exaggerated tall tales. Dragons and Werewolves provide the right combination for high interest and scary satisfaction. Color pictures of detailed mystical creatures will entertain students who are visual learners. This series will be popular for graphic readers and also appeal to the most reluctant reader.
