Fearsome Creatures of the Lumberwoods: 20 Chilling Tales from the Wilderness

By Hal Johnson

Book Overview

Fearsome Creatures of the Lumberwoods is an illustrated children's book inspired by a 1910 book of the same name. This totally modern package is a bone-chilling, glow-in-the-dark, fictional field guide to 20 dangerous mythical creatures of North American folklore. These include the Hodag, who stalks the forests of Wisconsin, using his spade-shaped nose to level trees in search of prey; the Cactus Cat of the American Southwest, which survives drinking the ichor that flows from cactus trees and screeches through the desert nights; and the nearly hairless Gumberoo of the Pacific coast with a hide so rubbery that anything thown at him bounces right back. It is the perfect book for kids aged 8 and up who love scary stories or folklores, and for family's who have story-telling time.
