A different creature that does not exist is on every page. A short poem describes each creature. (3.7)

http://www.eric-carle.com/home.html Very useful. This website has interactive games for certain stories by the author.

These are poems about make believe things. Dragons and other creature that are not real. This would be a good book to read to 1st grade to talk about make believe things. Fiction things that are not real. (

This is an interesting compilation of poetry. This has very abstract creatures that the poems are written about, which would be good for young children's imagination. There are dragons and unicorns and other made up creatures.

Wonderful book. Each page has a different mythological creature with a poem/description explaining what they are. In the middle of the book, there is a "double page" where it folds out to reveal a poster size dragon. Eric Carle's artwork is amazing. Probably wouldn't keep the attention of smaller children unless one poem a day was read. My favorite is "The Kracken". (
