Atlas of Monsters and Ghosts by Lonely Planet Kids

4.0

We read this for a geography resource for a monsters, mythology, and ghosts unit study. My daughter really enjoyed it, the amount of text and pacing seemed good, and the illustrations were great. She said some things didn’t match up with what she’s heard about particular monsters before, but I’m unsure if that’s on her memory, variation in monster lore, or an actual issue with the book. One complaint from me was one I have about a lot of middle grade in this vein - I wish they would include phonetic spellings underneath the names of monsters, I alternated between potentially butchering them and googling pronunciations.
