Review by School Library Journal Review

PreS-Gr 2--This engaging series introduces young readers to popular mythical creatures that they may recognize from beloved movies, stories, and folklore. Each title delves into the origins of these creatures, exploring the cultures from which they emerged, what they symbolize, and how they are represented in modern times. The books are aligned with Common Core Standards and correlated to state standards, making them an excellent educational resource. One standout aspect of this series is the quality of its translation. This series offers Spanish-speaking children and English learners an accessible and culturally responsive way to explore werewolves, trolls, dragons, and more. The seamless translation ensures that children can fully engage with the stories in their native language, enriching their reading experience and helping them build language skills. This thoughtful approach not only promotes literacy but also fosters a deeper connection to the mythological content, making it a valuable tool for both bilingual education and fostering an appreciation of diverse cultures. VERDICT Both public and school libraries would greatly benefit from having this series in their collection.
