Cryptids, Creatures & Critters

This was SUCH a cute and informative look at cryptids, folklore, and more from all over the world. I loved it! The art was gorgeous and the author did such a great job of covering the basics, but what I loved most was that they even took the time to discuss how some of these myths and stories have been changed over time due to colonization, the spread of Christianity, and other sociopolitical impacts. I learned new things about some favorites and also found some totally new-to-me entities. I'll definitely be buying a finished copy of this one at some point to reference back to in the future! Thank you to the publisher for the gifted copy! All thoughts are honest and my own.✨ Content warnings for: brief (and mostly vague) descriptions of violence, death, cannibalism, bloodletting, suicide, infanticide, miscarriage, infidelity, kidnapping, assault ———bookstagram booktok blog storygraph twitter/x
