This book is great fun, taking a look at the Crypid creatures that supposedly inhabit the United States. It is a book to dip into rather than to read in one setting and I really enjoyed it. I would have loved some more pictures though.

Such a fun book! Taking a look at different cryptids across the United States in short entries outlining the cryptid's backstory, area, and theories and if there is a town/area/museum dedicated to the cryptid. There are also some drawings of cryptids as well as some asides from the author interspersed.

The author does a great job of striking the tone between serious research and playful tone that makes the reader feel a part of the fun. I enjoyed learning about these stories (who knew Ohio was cryptid central?) and I have been sharing the stories and planning some road trips with friends already to check these places out for ourselves.

The best way to describe this book is it gives Gravity Falls' Mystery Shack vibes - not everything is real, nothing it taken too serious, but everyone's enthusiasm makes up for any dashed hopes.

I've already pre-ordered a copy for myself and I can't wait to highlight and talk about it with everyone (even more than I am now).

This is a great read to learn more about the maybe mythical, maybe real creatures that call the US their home.

This is such a fun and comprehensive book on cryptically! I really enjoyed the humor as well as the art renderings! Whether you believe or not, it is still a great read!

Definitely a 5 star for the genre!

A great dive into cryptids across the United States! This book delves into four regions of the US (Northeast, South, Midwest, and West) and the cryptids that (supposedly) roam these lands. Broken up into short vignettes about each cryptid, this book is super easy to read and enjoy. I liked the organization here because it would be easy to read a story each day, maybe even with kids. I wish there were illustrations for all the cryptids, but I also understand the publishing constraints on that type of thing.

Overall, this is a great read to learn more about the maybe mythical, maybe real creatures that call the US their home. Definitely would recommend!

I received my copy from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
