Investigate haunted castles, spooky forests and even outer space with a monster-revealing magic lens in this striking and unusual book. Children’s favourite monsters are hidden inside each page waiting to jump out when the magic lens is held over them. Mythological creatures, ghostly spirits and monsters from film and fiction all make an appearance. Brief, lively text tells the story of each, from their ghastly origins to their favourite meals.
"This survey of monsters from folklore, literature and the movies is both informative and interactive."
* Financial Times Summer Books 2019 *"The stylish illustrations are by Sophie Ledesma. Brief, lively text tells the story of each monster, with just the sort of facts children love, from their ghastly origins to their favourite meals. Unusual and full of the joy of stories, encouraging further reading and an interest in fictional characters."
* Parents in Touch *"Budding sleuths will love using the ‘magical detector’ tucked inside this intriguing, interactive book … Mythological creatures, ghostly spirits and monsters from film and fiction all make an appearance and a brief, lively text reveals all their secrets, from their ghastly origins to their favourite meals. And if that wasn’t enough, children also get the chance to design their very own monster."
* Lancashire Evening Post *"This is a fun book. The pages have colourful abstract scenes of woodlands or castles, but when you use the magic lens you can see the monsters hidden within the images...an entertaining way to explore the subject."
