Pjs, cuddling, and story-time before bed is a favorite at our house! The last couple weeks the kids had so much fun reading some new material I was given advanced copies of. It’s cute how now they ask what new books I have to read. As soon as I’m finished they will tell me what they loved about the book. My great little reviewers! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️📚📖 @netgalley #netgalley

The Bedtime Book of Magical Creatures includes stunning illustrations and descriptions of over 100 magical creatures. As an avid fantasy reader, I loved seeing depictions of magical creatures that I've encountered in stories and learned about many I had never heard of. I love that creatures from cultures across the world are included, and that the index at the end included each creature's origin.
Highly recommend for fantasy readers of all ages!
I received an ARC from DK | DK Children via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
