J has been looking forward to reading the “Monster Buddies” series! I really really liked “I’m Fearsome And Furry: Meet A Werewolf.” I liked that it explained what a werewolf is but makes it perfectly clear that it is just a legend. The book also touches on different werewolf legends around the globe! I can’t wait to read the rest of the series!

Not a great plot, not especially interesting for kids.

Such a cute way to inform kids to folklore. The illustrations are comical and bright. Great to see they included other ways a werewolf can become one.
