I knew my niece would like it but didn’t know how practically biblical it would become. For several years now every time we visit she gets this book out and flips through the pages. She’s memorized all the creatures (her favorite is the Taniwha; the Windigo is a hard pass 🙅🏻‍♀️), and she has even bought the book again as birthday presents for friends. Her mother brought it to her school for story time and months later, a boy in her class remembered the book from that one story time. I’ll never be able to top this one! ## Frequently Bought Together - The Book of Mythical Beasts and Magical Creatures (Mysteries, Magic and Myth) - The Book of Mysteries, Magic, and the Unexplained (Mysteries, Magic and Myth) - The Great Book of Monster Legends: Stories and Myths from Around the World (Happy Fox Books) A Kids' Monsters Book Filled with Adventure, Mystery, Travel, and Fun Facts about Bigfoot, Nessie, and More --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/214215860-the-book-of-mythical-beasts-and-magical-creatures](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/214215860-the-book-of-mythical-beasts-and-magical-creatures) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-09-02*
