Monsters in Legends and in Real Life – Level 1 reading for kids – 1st grade

О книге

This is a Level 1 Reader book: 2-4 simple sentences per page, kindergarten – 1st grade vocabulary, large type, lots of colorful pictures on every page. Old legends tell us about the griffin, sphynx, basilisk, kraken and other monsters. Are these half-lions and half-eagles, half-roosters and half-dragons scary… or funny? How did people of old times imagine a seahorse, or a sea lion? Are there real monsters? We'll meet a few real-life monsters, from the giant squid, huge saltwater crocodiles, and ever-hungry barracuda to some of the most venomous creatures on Earth that happen to be small – lionfish, sea snake, and cone snail. Not every monster is huge! I would rather run into a giant squid than a cone snail!
