Review Quotes

Dragons and unicorns are presented in this hi-lo series. While the illustrations are vibrant and exciting, the small text and varying font styles detract from this series' appeal. Each spread is a little different: some pages offer only pictures, while others feature multiple illustrations, blocks of text, and captions, which some readers may find distracting. Still, the mixture of short and long sections of text may help some readers develop confidence while enjoying adventurous characters. VERDICT Those searching for a Spanish series about mythical creatures should look elsewhere.--Abby Bussen, Muskego Public Library, WI "School Library Journal"

Written in present tense, these titles captivate with descriptive prose and quantity and depth of information. . . .Though texts identify the creatures as mythical, enough "realistic" details are provided as to seemingly root them in the real world, blurring lines between fantasy and fact. . . .Recommended for public and school collections for browsing and recreational reading. A popular, in-demand topic that can be useful in units on myths and folklore.-- "School Library Journal"
