Calling… monster trackers everywhere!
You come across strange giant footprints leading into a dark, clammy cave. Would you…faint with fright…quietly tiptoe away…or explore further?

Tommy Boyd has collected fearsome facts and monstrous myths which will freeze the blood in your veins! Read about the huge body with a serpent’s neck which emerged from the dark waters of Loch Ness, or a tentacle half the length of a football pitch which was found on a Florida beach and ask yourself:
WHAT IS OUT THERE?


Report:
Monster Monsters is a factual and mythical book written by Tommy Boyd. In the book, he presents his favourite monsters, such as the Loch Ness Monster, dinosaurs and more. He takes you back into the time of these creatures. He writes about how they live, where they live and what makes them perfect monsters. He also writes about the close and sometimes terrifying encounters people all around the world have come across with these monsters. He talks about how they saw these creatures and what did they do about it.

In one section of the book, he talks about the many hoaxes people have made up which the public actually believed! He talks about all the hype behind these hoaxes.

Towards the end of the book, there is a section called monster makes. This section basically tells you how to make things from constructing a monster kite to making a Nessie cake. There are also a few games that you could play with your friends.

At the very end of the book, there is a small section of real monsters and fake monsters that Tommy Boyd had invented and you had to guess which ones were true and fake. The answers are on the last page.

Opinion:
I would rate this book 5 out of 10 because I’m not really into monsters and mythical creatures. It’s a bit boring and dull because there is no colour and very few illustrations. But I believe that this book would be a great and enjoyable book to read for those who are interested in mythical creatures and monsters.
