Don't Let the Beasties Escape This Book! by Julie Berry

3.0

This book was provided to me by Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

I was browsing the 'read now' catagory on Netgalley and I found this lovely magical children's book. Ever since I started working at the library I've been surprised at how well written children's book can be. And the art in some children's books are just WOW *insert heart eyes* And this cover immediately made me want to pick this up because DRAGONNNN

Drawing style: The era in which this story is set is medieval like and the drawing style looks like it's older and a little faded which is such a lovely detail that makes this book a whole.

Writing style: The writing in the book is a little more complicated than I would expect in a children's book but if an adult is reading it to their child then I'm sure they will help their child understand everything. The style does make everything sound fun and magical.

The bestiary at the end of the book was a nice touch and really makes sure that the child who reads this book knows what kind of mythical creatures are in this book.
