Delightful, The Hidden Bestiary by Judy Young, is an adventure, an exploration, and a series of visual puzzles set to marvelous prose, all rolled into a wonderful, exquisitely produced volume guaranteed to enchant both young and old. I shared it with my “test” kids, ages four through thirteen, and “enthralled” is the word. They each couldn’t wait to get to hold the book themselves and page through it, looking at all there was to see. And the discussion throughout between the kids was great as they tried to decide (without getting to peek) if the creature was real or not. Some of the kids knew about some of the beasts in the book, but there were a great many surprises for them, too.
I heartily recommend this book for children. It’s an excellent addition to their lives, in my opinion. Think about it as a great book for Christmas, and, Grandma and Grandpa, you might want to keep a copy around the house for when the grandkids come.
There’s so much to explore inside the book that kids will spend hours exploring the scenery and trying to find all the hidden creatures!
