Imaginary creatures from the land, forests, and underwater introduce toddlers to characters of folklore and literature, where monsters were born.

These hobgoblins and other imaginary creatures are too cute to be scary! Names like Quinotar, ogre, and rougarou, along with the more common vampire, witch, and Yeti will be as fun to say as the pictures are to point at. Ideal for reading aloud to a toddler.
