What's the Name of That Book??? discussion

Around 2003-2006 I had this little yellow hardcover book for kids about Monsters and Cryptids. Not much on Myths or investigation, more like a simple bestiary. It was barely over 70 pages, very thin, but even by 2006 it looked sort of old. It was in English, most likely made in America. It had illustrations on some pagers/their headers but text on others, and not like, illustrations every other page.

If anyone remembers this, please let me know, and thank you if you do!

It might be on the Bestiaries list.

I’ll check it out! I do love bestiaries by themselves so that’s a neat find, thank you

Possibly something by Daniel Cohen, like Monsters, Giants and Little Men from Mars: An Unnatural History of the Americas

Also by Daniel Cohen: The Greatest Monsters in the World and Monsters You Never Heard of: Read about them...if you dare! The encyclopedia of monsters

I read many books by Daniel Cohen as a kid.

I checked out his 'Missing! : Stories of strange disappearances ' which looks very close to the monster book format and length, but none of the monster books seem to be it, I'll keep seeing his material, though!

I copied a few book details to the topic header. Feel free to edit it.

I'll request this from the NYPL, but the book I had was pure yellow cover, hard cover, textured surface. Could be due to a lack of a jacket but yea...

@kris no, sadly this isn’t it, but it’s very close; almost like it’s an update. These illustrations are blue but otherwise the subject and content is almost perfect by itself, just like an updated bersion

Maybe The Creature Catalog, by Mike Berenstain?
