Real animals behind mythical creatures

Unicorns, dragons, and sea monsters provide the entry point for a fact-based look at real animals and the myths associated with them. The book is organized as a Level 3 reader, with running text supplemented by 100 facts and an end-of-book roundup for reviewing the material. Its central contrast—between legendary creatures and animals whose appearances or abilities seem extraordinary—connects animal information with the stories people have built around it.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Fluent young readers ready for a Level 3 fact reader
  • Children interested in animals, mythical creatures, and surprising animal facts
  • Young readers who enjoy short facts and end-of-book review sections
