"This field guide
is handsomely put together and is an extremely fast read. Olander’s
imaginative creatures, creative drawings, and humorous tidbits of information
make this book great for reluctant readers, especially boys. Those interested in
drawing and monsters will also find some joy
here."

could lead to all kinds of
fun..."

"Some of Olander’s monsters are scary (the Brute, who lives
inside you), while others are insanely cute (the Domestic Dust-Devil).
You’ll never look at your home and garden the same way again.
A Field Guide to
Monsters
has great curb
appeal..."
