Booklist

Rather than focus on one specific monster, this volume from the Cryptid Guides: Creatures of Folklore series (4 titles) dives into the broader category of sea monsters, venturing into oceans, lakes, and swamps as well as the legends that give such creatures life. The book organizes its monsters into general categories, typically giving two-page spreads to the likes of mythical giants (the Norse kraken, the Inuit Qalupalik, and Japan’s umibōzu), smaller beasties (sirens, selkies, and kelpies), and prehistoric monsters that might have evolved into cryptids. Spotlights are placed on Nessie and Godzilla, and readers can also find tips for monster spotting. Highly visual with varied layouts and copious digital illustrations, this is a great choice for high-low readers that indulges belief in the unknown while still pulling in solid information on hoaxes and monster misidentification.
