(4) 4-6 DK Secret Worlds series. This survey strikes a nice balance, offering spooky, anecdotal stories about gargoyles, vampires, Bigfoot, and the Loch Ness Monster, while also exploring the reasons humans "need" monsters to explain nature, confront death, and create a cultural mythology. The photos and reproductions are diminished by the book's small trim size. An extensive list of websites is included. Glos., ind.
