Book Review: Creature Files Series

Disclaimer: I was sent books to review. All opinions are my own.

I spread this series out to the people I knew would love and appreciate them the most. My husband got the Dragon one and loves it- he wears the necklace and even uses the drawings in his own drawings and for color reference. He loves mythology and so reading about the different types of dragons definitely keep his interest. The other books have gone to people that would love them and they all have reported back to me how much they love the teeth/ gift items, the fun facts, the comparisons, and every other facet of these books.
