Thank you to Laurence King Publishing for allowing me to read this beautiful book!

This book drew my attention on the cover art alone, before I even read the title. The illustrations are vibrant, eye-catching, and beautiful. The best part is that these breath-taking illustrations continue through the whole book!

The Mythopedia is split up into countries (Europe, Asia, the Americas) and from there, different mythological creatures are introduced. The short stories that accompany most of the creatures are intriguing and much appreciated. They give a good sense of information without being overbearing for the age range.

The book itself isn’t terribly long, and is a good source of information for those interested in mythical creatures. Some of the phrasing/information might be a bit difficult for younger readers, but they’ll be so captivated by the illustrations it won’t matter much!

Overall, this is something I can’t wait to have on my own shelf at home! I knew about some of the creatures mentioned, and was so excited to read information about them and put them into the books I knew them from!

Thank you so much to net galley for sending me a copy of this book. As someone who is in love with myths and legends I was so excited to read this book. I was not disappointed in the slightest! I was really impressed by the array of creatures and even ones I’ve never heard of l.

I was given this ARC in exchange for an honest review. This was a BEAUTIFULLY illustrated book. The monsters/myths were brought to life not only by the stories that accompanied them, but by the colorful drawings that breathed life into each one. Separated by region, this is one I can't wait to have on the shelf. Thank you for allowing me to preview this.

I recommend it for mythology lovers of all ages. It is easy to read and understand. I would like to thank netgalley for letting me review this book
