Set in the 1930’s, this tale was a charming interpretation of the origins of the Loch Ness monster. The novel was perfect for my students to compare and contrast with the movie, which had significant differences. It certainly allows children’s imagination to soar, and is the perfect introduction to begin dissecting other legends and myths. It is quite a magical story, and has no content that parents need be concerned about.
As far as the backbone of the story, it offered little in the way of literary elements. I’ve certainly read children’s books with stronger character development than this one. Nonetheless, it is a sweet story that children seem to greatly enjoy.
