Editorial Reviews:

A second major volume by the esteemed Dr. Drake — a lavish exploration of fantastical beasts, from yetis to unicorns

Do krakens really lurk below the ocean waves? Do griffins command the air above? In a fascinating new discovery sure to rival the ground-breaking DRAGONOLOGY, the intrepid Dr. Ernest Drake turns his inquisitive gaze from dragons to other so-called mythical creatures. Included are:

* a removable letter from Dr. Drake
* multiple foldouts, flaps, and pull-outs
* textured "samples," including sea serpent skin and a feather from a winged horse
* sundry booklets — including riddles to tell a sphinx
* a cabinet of curiosities containing yeti fur, a hippogriff feather, and more

For anyone who has ever wondered whether legendary beasts still wander among us, this lush look at an astounding array of creatures offers everything a true believer would want to know.

Summary: Dragonology fan loves it
Comment: My 11-year-old son who loves Dragonology and all kinds of mythical beasts loves this book. It isn't so much about monsters as it is about creatures from mythology.

Summary: Monsterology
Comment: My daughter asked for this for Christmas. She already owns the piratology, egyptology, and dragonolgy. She loves them all, but dragonology is her favorite. This version I was a bit disappointed with. There isn't as much interactive in this book as with the others. There aren't all the little things to pull out and look at. She still likes it but it won't be her favorite like the other ones are I'm sure.
