Rare Find

This is just the kind of rare, quirky book I knew my son-in-law would enjoy, and he does. Anyone who visits our National Park can enjoy these stories.


Fun read

Bought this a stocking stuffer for our teenagers as we travel to National Parks in the Spring/Summer. They are excited to see the places listed in the book. Love that they write what people likely saw or heard (in the fine print) too!


Fun to Read

Got this for my daughter who loves cryptids and myths and things. This has been so fun to read and learn about the legends across the nation. Love it! #sweepstakes


Smaller than I thought

Looks fun and interesting. I did not pay attention to any measurements that may have been provided. I assumed it would be bigger.


Novel idea to make a book of National Parks oddities and my.

My partner is into the National Parks and this book offers information not found elsewhere.


So much fun

It was interesting to read and now to keep for reference about the stories of "creatures" in our National parks.


Super fun and great graphics!

This is a super fun gift. Bought for my father in law for his birthday. He has been into mythical creatures/legends for quite a while and was thrilled to find some of the international creatures that he hadn't heard of before.


Fun and Informative

Got this book for my cryptid-fan husband. He absolutely loves it and while he doesn't totally believe in these creatures, it's nice to know they are getting their appropriate exposure in the pages of this book.
