Our Nessie by Priscilla Marden Johnson

Lake Monsters

Lake monsters lurk on every continent.  Nessie is one of the oldest. Stories of sightings on Loch Ness go back 1500 years to the time of Merlin.  Other monsters have first been recorded in the past 100 years. All the monsters seem to be camera shy, but people who have seen them have no doubt they saw a real monster, possibly a dinosaur that survived meteor impacts  and even ice ages.
