Creature Detective
What if mythical creatures... were actually real? Join 10½-year-old Darcy McAllister, junior Creature Keeper and official field guide updater, as she sets out to do the unthinkable—interview real mythical creatures. From Fairies needing first aid to fire-sneezing Dragons, Darcy records her conversations with the magical beings most humans never get to see. Armed with her trusty recorder, an endless list of questions, and an unshakeable sense of curiosity, she’s determined to uncover the truth—one creature at a time. Guided by her Nan, the legendary Dr. Pat McAllister—a vet for magical beings—Darcy is helping to update the ancient Creature Keeper Field Guides for the next generation. Along the way, she uncovers answers to age-old mysteries like: 🦷 Why do Tooth Fairies really collect teeth? 🧦 Where do all your missing socks actually go? 🌿 And why are Unicorns so hard to find? Designed for curious kids and imaginative families, The Creature Detective is packed with magical interviews, laugh-out-loud moments, strange symptoms, and secret lore. It’s the perfect blend of storytelling, world-building, and wonder—and a place where mythical creatures finally get to tell their side of the story. So grab your notebook and press play—because the magical world is real… and someone’s got to keep track of it all. 🕵️♀️🎙️ Perfect for ages 6–12 and grown-ups who love a little wonder. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
