There are fewer than 100 pages in Mutants & Monsters (or Mysteries Unwrapped: Mutants & Monsters). Some of those pages contain only an illustration or photographs, or repeat a sentence or two from the regular text in large green letters. Its six chapters still pack in information about cryptozoology. Besides such familiar cryptids as Bigfoot, the Loch Ness Monster, the Mothman, the Chupacabra, and the Jersey Devil, there are plenty of lesser-known creatures from around the world. I'd never heard of some of them.

These are the chapters:
Bigfoot, the snowman, and the strange apes
Sea monsters: Nessie and her cousins
Thunderbirds and things with wings
Phantom cats and feline monsters
Owlman, giant turtles, and other big beasts
Chupacabras and other mysterious monsters

Although written for schoolchildren, this book might serve as an introduction to the subject for curious adults who don't want to read a lot right off the bat. It does contain a list of source material and an index, the latter being more than I expected, and for which I thank the author. ( )
