Premise:

A specially designed Kindle in Motion edition of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them as illustrated by Olivia Lomenech Gill.
This glorious new Kindle in Motion edition of Newt Scamander's Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (considered a classic throughout the wizarding world) features an extraordinary array of magical creatures, from Acromantula to Yeti via ten different breeds of dragon – all beautifully illustrated in full colour in a beautifully designed digital reading experience by the brilliantly inventive, Greenaway Medal-shortlisted Olivia Lomenech Gill.

The artist’s interpretations of these creatures and their habitats are newly animated to come alive on your device. Cower at the terrifying transformation of a werewolf, and regard the power and grace of a grazing Erumpent. Discover a Niffler snuffling out some valuables, and a fierce Griffin guarding some treasure. Keep an eye on the famously cautious Hippogriff burrowing alongside its fledgling, and marvel at the splendour of a combusting phoenix.

Famed Magizoologist Newt Scamander's years of adventure and exploration have yielded a work of unparalleled importance, admired by scholars, devoured by young witches and wizards, and even made available to Muggles in the early years of this century. With this dazzling Kindle in Motion edition, readers can explore the magical fauna of five continents from the comfort of their own armchairs. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is essential reading at Hogwarts.

This new edition features the fully updated 2017 text - which includes new profiles of six magnificent beasts that inhabit North America and a new foreword by J.K. Rowling, writing as Newt Scamander.

Review:

I have been meaning to read this book, especially after finishing the Harry Potter books a few years ago, but I never quite had the chance to do so. When I saw this book on Kindle Unlimited, I thought since I was reading the Harry Potter books now, this was the perfect time to read this before I dived back into the HP books.

This book takes us on a whimsical look into the creatures from Acromantula to Yeti with colorful illustrations and detailed information on each creature. While some of the creature information is short, it still offers you the best information it possibly can.

This book is a perfect addition for any HP fans looking for further information on the creatures seen within the magical world of Harry Potter.
