In today's episode, we are chatting with the author and illustrator of many children's books covering strange and unknown topics. Carlyn Beccia joins us to discuss her book Monstrous and talk a little bit about her interests in the strange, bigfoot, as well as her true love of bringing knowledge to the minds of children through her work.
Jeremy's personal 5/5 review of her book that can be found on Amazon and Goodreads.com is below.
The positive impressions of the book start the moment you feel it in your hands. This is not your normal children's book in any shape or form. Carlyn Beccia goes the extra mile with everything, even the quality of materials used to ensure its durability when in the hands of children. I know this should have nothing to do with rating a book 5 stars (and trust me, it doesn't), she could have easily published this piece on toilet paper and I would still give it 5/5 stars. But it does go to show that her pride in this piece goes as far as the pride I have in now owning a copy of it myself. Mrs. Beccia guides you through the mysteries of Zombies, Bigfoot, the Kraken, Werewolves, and a handful of other mythical creatures in a way that tickles your curiosity in the science of the unknown that you didn't even know you needed in your life. I can guarantee that the moment you open the book yourself you will want to read it just as much as your children. Brilliantly illustrated by none other than Carlyn herself, Monstrous provides the reader with brightly colored pictures that perfectly depict the tons of educational content in this fascinating book. Her genius really shines through when you discover how she makes connections between science and her mysterious subjects to deliver knowledge in categories such as anatomy, physics, survival, and mathematics in ways that will make sure that not only prevent you from being able to put the book down but also walking away with a greater knowledge of some very important bits of information about yourself and the world you live in. I highly recommend this book not only for children but also for you.
