Illustrated by
David Small.
As a boy and girl travel around the world--in a hot-air balloon, astride an elephant, in a snowmobile--they get a firsthand view of legendary monsters from various cultures. Scandinavian trolls and the North American Sasquatch are among the sometimes scary, usually amusing (thanks to Small's energetic art) creatures introduced in Ashman's poems, notable for their stylistic variety.
