I have at least 2 kids books that have cryptids in them. One is called Big Snowy by Jim Slater from the A. Mazing Monsters collection. It's about a Yeti or Abominable Snowman. The other one is The Werewolf of Fever Swamp by R. L. Stine from the Goosebumps series. I also had The Abominable Snowman of Pasadena also a Goosebumps book, but I recently gave it away on Bookmooch.com. I love kids books and I love kids books that are spooky even more! I've had the Big Snowy book since I was a kid. It's a really easy to read book with very few words and some amazing drawings done by the author's 10 year old son Christopher Slater. I've always like the Abominable Snowman for some reason, and I think I owe it all to this book. I aquired The Abominable Snowman of Pasadena recently in a thrift store. I had to get it because 1) it's a goosebumps book 2) it's about the Abominable Snowman and 3) because it was about Pasadena, California and I used to live nearby. It was a really good book also, I love all of the Goosebumps books that I've read so far. I just finished reading The Werewolf of Fever Swap because I've recently become obsessed with Werewolves thanks to the Twilight Saga books I've been reading. Also, great books by the way. I'm glad these kinds of books are available for kids. Who knows, they might just inspire a whole new generation of cryptozoologists.
