About this title

Review:

Young readers will enter the enchanting world of Olde Missus Milliwhistle and her fabulous beasties. This learned lady has roamed the realms of fable and myth and returned with the surprising truth about such awe-inspiring creatures as the sphinx, the griffin, the unicorn, the phoenix, and other age-old favorites. Missus Milliwhistle's troll, for instance, is actually a long-suffering fellow who, because of the constant clattering of goat hooves over his bridge, has never gotten a moment's sleep. And the famous Gorgon, Medusa, is not some cruel creature who turns people to stone, she uses her powerful stare to create the delicate porcelain and glass animal figurines so beloved of young girls. Twelve fabled creatures spring to life in dazzling full-color illustrations. Indeed, Olde Missus Milliwhistle's Book Of Beneficial Beasties is vivid proof that fine art and storytelling are alive and well -- in children's picture books! -- Midwest Book Review
