 Great book for the 8+ group February 25, 2010

My 8 year old picked this out at the used bookstore. It is a wonderful guide to the monsters of the Dungeons and Dragons world. The artwork is fantastic and he loves just staring at the pictures. In addition the text is very simplistic, almost like a 2nd grade science book, giving factoids and interesting tidbits on each of the monsters. At the end of his there is a little quiz that they can take to "see if they are prepared."
Now my son loves to read so I expected him to read through it rather quickly, what I did not expect was for this book to suddenly go everywhere we do. Every time I tell him, "Grab a book we're headed to the Doctors," this is the book that comes with us.
For parents concerned that there might be something "improper" in this book - My son attends a Baptist Academy, and has had no issues with having this book at school, or with using it as part of his "Read Aloud" book in class. I have searched it from cover to cover prior to allowing it to go with him to school and have found no sign of Satan hiding anywhere within. All I have seen is my son having a great time and expanding his imagination.
Wonderful introduction to fantasy and the D&D world for the little guys.
Beautifully illustrated and fun to read October 17, 2008

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R2TZ4X36HIR5XU These books were a fantastic introductory read. They have really beautiful illustrations and a fun quirky story element to them. My son read this book 4 times in the first day we bought it. These are really a good way to introduce children to the world of Fantasy Fiction.
 Nice evening read August 26, 2008

I bought this book for my son, who is 4 years old. He doesn't know yet to read or to add so we hardly can play D&D toghether. Instead I read him every evening two or three monsters out of this book. He enjoys it very much and also loves the images.
Not a book for grown-ups, to little information. More important, the monsters are straight out of D&D, do not expect something mythologic or real. But a nice, colorful, experience.

Fantastic introduction to Dungeons and Dragons monsters for kids March 25, 2008
Jacob Stam (Morrisville NC USA)
This book does a fantastic job at capturing kids imagination and excitement about these wonderful monsters that Daddy plays with on Thursday nights. The art style only kidifies goblins (as cute little illustrated guides cowering before many of the baddies). I bought this for my 6 year old daughter at Christmas and she's enjoyed it immensely, though it truly won over my 3 year old daughter who insists on a quick pass through the whole book where she identifies 95% of the monsters on sight and their diets and usually a distinguishing feature like "I love the Rakshasa, they have backwards hands and magic!"
A must have for D&D fans with kids.
