Speech bubbles and strip cartoon-style illustrations create a dynamic format that encourages readers to engage with the characters and get involved in the story. Detailed maps and information about Loch Ness, Lake Erie and Lake Champlain provide geographical context for the sightings. Legends surrounding these lakes and the origins of the tales and creatures are also examined. A "fact or fiction?" section examines famous cases of fakes and hoaxes. "Loch Ness Monster" helps achieve goals of Scottish Standard Curriculum 5-14, and is an ideal text for shared and guided reading for Key Stage 2 Pupils within the framework of the National Literacy Strategy.
