Mythical Beasts and Magical Creatures everything about supernatural animals great and small. Perfect for fans of Harry Potter and other fantasy tales, this mythology book for children is the only kids' guide to magical creatures that explores the history behind the mythology in both an engaging and educational way.

Say hello to Bigfoot in the forests of North America, voyage to Japan to meet kitsune, supernatural nine-tailed foxes that can turn into humans, then jump onboard an ancient storm-battered ship to learn why mermaids were the last thing a sailor wanted to see! Learn about the societies that spawned these legendary creatures, from Ancient Greece to the indigenous tribes of Australia, and find out what the beasts tell us about the people who created them.
