(3) K-3 Five monsters are introduced in a cartoon format that renders them more appealing than threatening. The stories of the Roman looks-can-kill Basilisk, the swamp-dwelling Aboriginal Bunyip, Greece's three-headed Chimera, Denmark's man-eating monster Grendel, and the cannibalistic African she-monster Isikukumanderu are told in straightforward prose below panels of bright, busy art.
