Customer ReviewsInspired a new cartoon!
Rating Point :5 Helpful Point :0
This is probably the best book out there for giving the facts, the fables, and the fiction of Bigfoot and his cryptic gang. Its perfect for a family conversation about whats real and whats still a mystery, a subject sure to come up when the Cartoon Networks newest animated series, Secret Saturdays, starts in October. In fact, this book was used by the cartoons creators for research and inspiration!

I like to see what is on the bookshelfs for youngsters regarding paranormal topics. I loved to read these books as a kid. I was hoping to see some higher quality books by this time, some 30 years later. Im not too impressed. This book is very disappointing. The only plus is the wealth of pictures that are interesting and should capture attention. The authors state these creatures were "investigated". The list of references used is abysmally short. Most of what is given is regurgitated from older books including misconceptions or mistakes just carried over once again. The authors give us the "Who knows?" attitude. We do know some things. We do have evidence. This is not a fair assessment - its a view of what they wish were true. The path here leads only to more mystery, no answers. Sections start with pieces of fantastic fictional "what ifs" and end with a false dichotomy - either this animal does or doenst exist. Those arent the only two options. Misidentification is not addressed well. Im looking for something more balanced, more science- and evidence-based. This is NOT it.
Tales of the Cryptids

I bought this book for my 10 year old nephew, who, despite all the super electronic gizmos competing for attention at Christmas, took this one up to bed Christmas Eve, and couldnt put it down. Neither could his father, or his 8 year old brother. And I read it before I gave it to him. Very well-researched and balanced with an enquiring approach to the whole subject of Cryptids. Many thanks to the authors for another excellent book that gets kids to unplug from the computer, read a book and get their brains in gear.
"Read it again, and dont skip anything!"

That was my 4 year old nieces reaction after I read her this book. I
got it for her on a whim, since shes interested in Bigfoot and the
Loch Ness Monster. She absolutely loved it. Recommended.
Tales of the Cryptids... not bad.

This book is a great start for people young and old who want to know the basics about crypto zoology.
It is written from an investigative stand point,giving the reader all of the BASIC knowledge one would need to know about BIGFOOT,THE LOCH NESS MONSTER and variouse other creatures, who may or may not have lived. Describing all of the mythe and the mystery behind some of the worlds most beloved and feared creatures,this art work packed book tells the reader about the creatures origins,sightings,charactor descriptions
and wheather or not they have been proven to be hoaxes.
This is more of a coffee table book than a great reading novel.
Great basic info.
One thing that makes this book different, is the fact that it highlights
animals such as the Northwestern Mexicos Onza,Tasmanian Tiger and the Giant Squid who were once thought to be a figment of ones imagination as well.
