”As more and more new players find D&D, it’s books like these that can help the game continue to grow by introducing younger players to the game.”—Geek Dad

“This beautifully-illustrated publication (the first of several companions) is your one-stop shop for spotting and identifying the fauna of the D&D universe, from dragons to Demogorgons… . You probably shouldn’t venture into a storyline without it at your side.”SyfyWire

“No matter how old you are if you have ever had an interest in D&D these Young Adventurer’s Guides are something you need to check out.”—The NerdyGirl Express

“With all-new illustrations and explanations of Dungeons & Dragons’s rules, character creation, monsters, and more for ages eight and up, there’s never been a better time to bring your kids to the table.”—Geek & Sundry

Monsters & Creatures is a fun introduction for early readers and gamers, simplifying the information so it can be understood.”Geeks of Doom

Monsters & Creatures is a refreshing new take on the world and lore of D&D, sure to delight young readers, spark their imagination, and inspire them to tell stories of their own. Cover to cover, it’s great fun.” —d20 Diaries

“They provide a useful starting point, with background on characters and creatures. The books are well-designed and easy to read; my son is now officially hooked.”—The Film Stage

“However, if you’re new or someone you know is new and possibly interested in playing, especially if they’re a middle school or high school aged person, then this is a great way to get an easier to read version of the flavor text from the Player’s Handbook.”—Geek Tyrant
