Spoilerfree review
Not only is this book filled with descriptions of beasts you may already know because of their encounters with Harry Potter, it also features many creatures that are not even mentioned in ordinairy fairytales. From the different kinds of dragons to the exclusive unicorn, this is a very educational read. I especially liked the footnotes which mention why Centaurs and Merepeople are also considered 'beasts'. This book is so full of information, it's a valuable addition to anyone's library.
