In a breezy alphabetical bestiary, Onn introduces monsters and supernatural beings plucked from fables and myths, including ghosts, imps, krakens, and werewolves, as well as less-familiar cryptozoological entities, such as the Eloko of African legend, Scotland-s practical joking Far Darrig, and the headless Chinese giant Xing Tian. Hodgson illustrates each creature in a scribbly, naïve style as Onn describes them in a manner reminiscent of a field identification guide (-The Leviathan has mighty fins, enormous horns, and very bright eyes. It is one of the biggest and meanest creatures to swim in the seas-). Onn offers only minimal details about these beings-the book seems more interested in being quippy than informative. But the alternately cautionary and jokey tone of the text should keep readers entertained. Of yeti, he writes, -Perhaps they would stop for a selfie if you offered them ice cream.- Ages 6-9. (Aug.)
