There are some monsters it seems everyone has heard of: Frankenstein, Dracula, King Kong, Godzilla, Bigfoot....but have you ever wondered how their stories came to be so well known? Could there be any truth behind the stories?
In this wildly fun book, author Carlyn Beccia looks into the science (and the history!) behind monsters. Could electricity really bring a corpse to life, like Frankenstein? (Spoiler: no, but people have tried!). Would an ape the size of King Kong even be possible? In what US state are you most likely to be eaten by a zombie? And what should you do if you run into Bigfoot?
Filled with fascinating information and entertaining graphics, this book will show you not only the powers of fabled monsters, it will show the power of SCIENCE!

*New* Picture Book 📚 Favorites ❤️ * ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: ‘Snail Crossing’ by Corey r Tabor was my favorite read this week. The snail struggle is real. ‘Old Rock (is not boring)’ by Deb Pilutti is about a rock who has seen some pretty exciting stuff in his 3 billion year existence. I loved 💕 the illustrations in both ‘Big Papa and the Time Machine’ by Daniel Bernstrom and ‘The Old Truck’, by Jarrett and Jerome Pumphrey, though the latter is geared younger. ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: #storytime #babystorytime #kidslit #picturebooks #childrenslibrarian #libraries #rmlib #newbooks #childrensbooks #childrensbookstagram #librariansofinstagram #librariansfollowlibrarians #librariesofinstagram #weneeddiversebooks #snailcrossing #oldrockisnotboring #bigpapaandthetimemachine #theoldtruck
