Well, this one is a delight!
In this picture book for young children, Cornelia Funke provides text for Ruby Warnecke's gorgeous, vivid illustrations of legendary creatures. I was so pleased that the "Around the World" part of the subtitle is accurate: rather than just rehash the some Greek mythological creatures with a token Asian or American one thrown in, this book includes animals from every continent and gives a bit of information about their legends.
My one complaint is that the text was sometimes a bit twee for me, but I'm sure the target audience will love it.
