As an adult I loved the information I learned in this book, and I found the organization of it to be really engaging and creative. As an educator, this is such a fun book to share with students because it is interactive and educational. Carlyn Beccia takes the reader through different ailments and cures that were used through the ages and then asks the readers which ones they think might actually work. I learned so much and had a good laugh as well.

This book is an attention grabber for those curious about the mysterious creatures that may inhabit this Earth. Beccia provides a richly detailed account of eight legendary creatures that many are familiar with. These mythical creatures are looked at from a new perspective that looks at these creatures from a historical and scientific view. I would have this book in my classroom library due to the high interest level.
