Cryptic Creatures Collection Volume One
They’re probably not real… or maybe they are!
Step into a world of mystery, magic, and make-believe with Cryptic Creatures, a heartwarming collection of short stories perfect for curious kids ages 4–8. From deep forests to misty lakes, deserts to underwater caves, young readers will meet legendary beings known as cryptids—magical creatures that live in stories, sightings, and the wild edges of our imagination.
What is cryptozoology? It’s the search for animals that science hasn’t quite proven yet—like Bigfoot, the Loch Ness Monster, and fairies hiding in the trees!
Inside this beautifully illustrated collection, you'll meet:
Ozzy the Okapi – a once-unknown creature who proves legends can be real
Beau the Bigfoot – a gentle giant who just wants a friend
Nessie the Loch Ness Monster – mysterious and full of magic
Charli the Chupacabra – a desert creature with a surprising secret
Fae the Forest Fairy – who helps nature grow with a sprinkle of belief
Nova the Not-Deer, Mahi the Moa, Manny the Mothman, Maris the Mermaid, and Tully the Thylacine—each with a story that sparks wonder
Whether your child is an animal lover, a believer in magic, or just loves stories about the unknown, Cryptic Creatures is the perfect read-aloud or early independent reader. It encourages imagination, curiosity, and care for the natural (and maybe supernatural!) world.
Great for:
Bedtime stories and classroom read-alouds
Kids who love animals, fantasy, or exploring the unexplained
Believe in wonder. Explore the unknown. Discover the magic of Cryptic Creatures.
