Children's Books:

Werewolves by Toney Allman. This 48-page book is a fairly decent resource on European werewolf lore. Its worst problem is that it mixes some material about movie werewolves in with the general werewolf characteristics from folklore, without saying which is which. Wolf Man Stu Bites Back: Monster Manor #4 by Manu Boisteau & Paul Martin. A werewolf gets blamed for the sheep that keep going missing, but he is not that kind of werewolf. He is a good guy. Now, the werewolf has to find a way to prove to everyone that he is innocent.

Myths and Monsters: From Dragons to Werewolves by Laura Buller and Philip Wilkinson. A 96-page nonfiction book about legends and folklore, including some werewolf material, mainly some general lore and stuff on the Beast of Gevaudan. The Selkie Girl by Susan Cooper. A 32-page book following the basic course of most selkie (seal people) legends.

Weird Wolf by Margery Cuyler. Harry Walpole's family curse has struck again. Now Harry is a werewolf, and he has to find a cure before someone kills him with a silver bullet. Werewolves Don't Go to Summer Camp by Debbie Dadey and Marcia Jones. Kids think that one of their camp counselors is a werewolf.

A Field Guide to Monsters by Dave Elliott, CJ Henderson, and Rick Leider. Information on dozens of movie monsters, including werewolves. Werewolves for Lunch by Erica Farber. The anthropomorphic animals of Critter Falls are curious when werewolves move into Old Howl Hall.

My Teacher Ate My Homework by Dan Greenburg. Zack suspects that his teacher is a werewolf. I Look Like a Girl by Sheila Hamanaka A 32-page book about little girls who can turn into animals. It has a very positive message, likely to build self-esteem.

The Mystery of Vampires and Werewolves by Chris Oxlade. A 32-page nonfiction book about the folklore of both creatures. In the Footsteps of the Werewolf by Jim Pipe. A 40-page book combining fiction and nonfiction. A rather gruesome short story about an unwilling werewolf is alternated with various werewolf facts.

The Magic Pretzel by Daniel Pinkwater. A good, funny book, it makes adults laugh too. It is the first book in The Werewolf Club series. The Everything Kids' Monsters Book by Shannon R. Turlington. 133 pages of puzzles, games and trivia based on various monsters.
