From Walt Disney’s Fun-To-Learn Library, it’s volume six, REAL-LIFE MONSTERS. Mickey, Goofy, and Pluto tell the reader that the “monsters” seen in movies do not exist, but the name monster and dragon have been given to real-life monsters that seem scary. Mickey and Goofy discuss these real-life monsters and show pictures of them. They visit a museum to learn about dinosaurs. Though all of the large, dangerous dinosaurs are now extinct, such animals were sure scary, with their dagger-like teeth ad claws. Lizards and turtles of today are descendants of these dinosaurs. Some lizards are very small, but some are big and frightening, like the Komodo dragon. Mickey and Goofy go on to discuss other animals of today which descended from dinosaurs. This idea, alone, is enough to be scary to some children, as might be the picture of one dinosaur eating another. Most of the pictures, however, are typical of those seen in a Disney book, however, and are not scary at all.

    Quite informative for little minds. The book discusses various creatures, as dinosaurs to present day komodo dragons, different snakes, crocodiles and other reptiles.

    My love of reading started when i was young, and it gives me immense pleasure to provide books to Spread the Word Nevada, an organization that passes them on to children in the community. They are a terrific organization supporting an important cause. If your local I encourage you to check them out. For those living further a field, look in your own community, their may already be a similar program in place. And if not, you can always help start one.

    Myself, I go out on the weekends and
    shop thrift store and bulk book lots to rescue books and donate them. Sometimes I'll find a book I remember reading when I was young and will read it again before passing it on.

    I don't rate these books using my normal scale, instead I give most of them three stars. This isn't a Criticism of the book, simply my way of rating them as good for children.

    These books are great. My nephew will love this book and I am sure he will absorb a lot of the information. It is surprisingly light and dense at the same time. I love that they go into how these creatures aren't really monsters.

    "Shannon 1987." We had a set of these books at home and a second set at Grammy and Poppy's. I just wish there were real photos instead of just illustrations!
