What a great book!!! Loved it! I'm totally into all things mysterious, so this was a perfect fit for me. Some of the stories I had heard about before (Yeti), but others were new. I think that's what I liked the most - that it included some stories I had never heard of before. And since I love stories like this it was nice to hear about some new ones.
The pictures in the book are great - real photographs for the most part. Very colorful, large and detailed pictures. That really added to the enjoyment of the stories. I could see kids really looking at the pictures to see the details talked about in the pieces.
Library Thoughts: I would for sure add this to the library! This falls in the high interest nonfiction catigory 100%!
Final Thought: Great little book. Loved it and can see kids loving it too.
