Books with title Mysterious Creatures

Twenty-six short, somewhat surreal animal verses, each with an illustration. These idiosyncratic ideas and ridiculous rhymes bear no resemblance to ordinary animals – hence 'Curious Creatures'. A book for children and also perhaps for adults, these rhyming verses cover each letter of the alphabet. The black-and-white illustrations are unusual and funny and match the verse content very well.

The Mysterious Creature written and illustrated by Randon T. Eddy is an 8" x 10", 32 page, hard cover, early reader picture book with each page artistically illustrated in watercolor depicting 'real' wild animals. Each page has one to four lines of text for easy reading and story telling. The story revolves around a rumor started by Tiny Mouse and told to Pretty Panther about a mysterious creature roaming the Land of Everywhere. Many animals form frightening imaginings about the creature and they make a plan to find it. Among the other animals in the story are Big Bear, Pete, the prairie dog, Red, the red-eyed tree frog, Eddy Eider, Liz the frilled lizard, and Ricky and Reba, the twin raccoons. The ending is happy and full of surprises. The Mysterious Creature is Published by Jungle House Publications.
