After reading this book, I just HAD to rave about it! I have never read anything so interesting, yet in a factual way. McHargue does an excellent job of describing the mytholical beasts of never as though they really existed - their appearance, habits, and life. It also discussed the possible originations of the myth, and some of the great stories that they were involved in. I highly recommend this book to any fan of mythological tales!

As the title say this is a very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very erie book.

okay, I'll take pity on some poor person out there and tell them what on earth this book is about!
Ben Pollock lives near the museum of natural history in New York. He spends almost all his free time there because he lives nearby and wants to be a wild-life photographer. But then, mysterious things start happening in the Museum. On of the feather exhibits was destroyed, and the information desk was ransacked, and some "funny bananas" have been found. Ben plays detective, and along with Carmen, once a suspect of his, now a friend, he trys to find out what's going on. I can't really remember the ending to well, it was ages ago that I read it, and most of this review has come off of a litle review on the front cover of my copy. I can recall I thought it was stupid, but then, I was probably a little above the age group it was intended for. I can't really give you much of an opnion, except that if you think an early reader you know might like it, I am sure there are better books out there.
