What is a creature? Is it a person? Is it an animal? No, it's something different; something strange. In this book you will meet creatures big and small. Some of them are friendly to people. Some are not friendly at all!
You will meet two giants. One is called Bolster. Bolster is big, but not very clever. He is also not very nice. One day, Bolster falls in loveˇXwith a girl as big as his finger! The other giant is very ugly; he is an ogre. A boy called Jack climbs a magical beanstalk and visits his castle. The ogre is not friendly to his visitor!
You will meet five dragons. One is a frightening European dragon. He eats little girls and breathes fire. The other four dragons are Chinese. They help the people of China.
You will also meet many other creatures. You will meet a magical bird and a talking kettle. And you will meet a frightening lake creature who loves music.
What happens to these magical creatures? What happens to the people who meet them? Read these ten stories and find out. |
