This high interest series is aimed at older elementary students and written at a second-grade reading level to engage struggling readers. Students will love reading about what people believed about these mythological beings in the past, where those legends came from, and what we know now. Words that the reader may not know are bolded and then explained in detail. Since the creatures in these books have never been found, the information cannot be verified to be a true nonfiction series. However, students will devour the topic of Cryptozoology and not even realize they are learning. Additional Resources. Glossary. Index. Table of Contents.
