My kids kept arguing over which creature was real versus mythical—the guide at the end settled every debate and taught them a few tricks I didn't know either. It's the rare book that makes them actually read the text instead of just flipping pictures.

The illustrations are gorgeous, and my niece spent ages trying to figure out which creatures were real myths. The guide at the back explaining what to look for is really clever and made it fun for us to learn together.

Picked this up for my animal-loving kid, and the mix of real creatures with mythological ones kept us both guessing for an hour. The guide at the back explaining what clues to look for turned it into a fun little detective game.
