Enter the enchanting world of mythical creatures from all around the world and explore the history behind them in this mythology audiobook for children aged 5-9.

Say hello to Bigfoot in the forests of North America and learn about the Native American traditions that inspired its story. Voyage to Japan to meet kitsune, supernatural nine-tailed foxes that can turn into humans. Then jump onboard an ancient storm-battered ship to learn why mermaids were the last thing a sailor wanted to see! Learn about the societies that spawned these legendary creatures, from Ancient Greece to the indigenous tribes of Australia, and find out what the beasts tell us about the people who created them.

With magic and mystery, this myth audiobook offers:

- Insights into cultures from around the world and their creation stories.

Mythical Beasts and Magical Creatures is the only kids’ guide to magical creatures that explores the history behind the mythology in both an engaging and educational way. Listen to the supernatural stories that bring the history of mythology and magical creatures to life, and explore the societies that birthed these legendary creatures found in narratives from Ancient Greek mythology, Australian and Native American folktales. From narwhal tusks inspiring the legend of unicorns, to dinosaur bones creating rumours of dragons, there is an interesting story behind every magical beast.
