This wonderfully creative story has a uniqueness that will capture the imaginations of children. "The Luck of the Loch Ness Monster" is a refreshing new twist on the origin of Nessie's long-told tales. The added bonus is that it stresses the importance of good nutrition, though does not beat the reader about the head with the lesson. The dark colors used in the illustrations can be underwhelming at times, but they are mostly accurate to how the reader might picture the story. Overall, I definitely recommend that it be added to a collection, and even possibly used in storytimes.
