(4) 4-6 Mythical Beasts series. Illustrated by Nigel Chilvers. Each formulaic overview introduces ten creatures from different cultures (heavy emphasis on Greek and Norse mythology). A double-page spread describes the monster and its backstory, as well as "how to defeat" it. Boxed text provides information about cultural origins. Slick CGI-looking illustrations will appeal to gamers, as will "Beast Power" rankings, rating qualities such as "Strength," "Repulsiveness," and "Invincibility." Ind. Review covers these Mythical Beasts titles: Demons and Dragons, Giants and Trolls, Mighty Mutants, and Monsters of the Gods.
