      Gr 4-6-Each volume is prefaced with an identical disclaimer, "This series features creatures that excite our minds...They're also not real." Written in staccatolike sentences with a factual tone, the text is a mix of facts (an explanation of hypertrichosis in Werewolfs) and reported stories of sightings (Wisconsin's Beast of Bray Road). The "Explained by Science" and "When Fantasy Meets Reality" sections offer more concrete scientific explanations. Psychological and historical reasons for widespread belief of said creature are also touched upon. Simplified content and occasionally inadequate glossaries (wizards are mentioned but not defined in Witches) weaken the usefulness of this set.
