Monsters and Legends | Davide Cali

This book is SO. COOL. 😍

I fell in love with this lushly illustrated Children‘s book about - you guessed it - monsters & legends, & the real-life, natural inspiration behind the tales.

Learn about:
*Sea monsters & oar fish!
*Unicorns & the Arabian Oryx!
*The Salem Witch Trials & ergotism!

I found myself reading portions aloud to anyone who would listen. I‘m willing to bet that if you pick it up, you‘ll turn into that annoying person, too. 😅

Clare-Dragonfly Now I have to read this so I can read portions out loud to my husband. We always enjoy doing that! 6y

monalyisha I do wish that there‘d been a section in the back with photographs of the real animals that inspired the tales. Googling those that I hadn‘t heard of definitely added to my experience, but I don‘t think most kids‘ll go that far. 6y

monalyisha @Clare-Dragonfly I‘m bringing it home for my husband to look at, too! 💖 6y
