What beast stalks the dim northern forests? What horror tunnels under the sands of the desert? What monster lies in wait beneath murky lake waters? Bigfoot, the Mongolian Death Worm, the Loch Ness Monsterthese and many more creatures lurk within these pages. Are they animals yet undiscovered? Are they figments of imagination? Only eerie whispers and sinister rumors give us hints at the truth. 2011 Childrens Poet Laureate J. Patrick Lewis and 2013 Childrens Poet Laureate Kenn Nesbitt team up to offer a tour of the creatures of shadowy myth and fearsome legend the enticing, the humorous, and the strangein a book that disguises the poems (and the monsters) in the art.
