The Legend of the Jersey Devil by Trinka Hakes Noble illustrated by Gerald Kelley

After reading Lauren Tarshis' I Survived book- Shark Attacks of 1916, this title caught my eye (in the book Shark Attacks, the main character uses this legend to pull a prank on some friends).
This book relates how the legend began and how it has affected people through the generations.  The legend is almost 300 years old!
A bit scary -mentions the devil, of course, demon, and witchcraft.
This book does a superb job of showing how a legend begins and how it continues on to future generations.
Pair with I Survived The Shark Attacks of 1916 by Lauren Tarshis.
