Harry Potter Monster Book Craft
The Monster Book of Monsters, by Edwardus Lima, is a particularly vicious sentient textbook that is used in Care of Magical Creatures while Rubeus Hagrid (who thought the book's aggressive nature was amusing) was the Professor for that subject at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
The book is quite informative, but one usually finds it difficult to access the information within due to the book's unfortunate tendency to try and bite off the reader's fingers. The only way to subdue the book is to stroke its spine, upon which the book opens placidly. source: Harry Potter Fandom website

Craft Stick Monster Book Directions
Gather all supplies. To create the book, line up five jumbo craft sticks on your work surface. Using scissors, trim additional jumbo craft sticks to the width of the book and attach with a glue gun and glue sticks.
TIP: You can use liquid craft glue for this project, but then add additional drying time.
Basecoat the book with Dark Chocolate acrylic craft paint. Let dry, and apply a second coat, if necessary. Use washable markers, crayons, or even colored pencils to color the jumbo craft sticks.
I love Americana Acrylics from DecoArt because they have one-coat coverage on most surfaces.
Download, print, and cut out the MONSTER BOOK PATTERNS from the bottom of this post. Trace the teeth onto white craft felt, and trace the forked tongue onto red craft felt. Cut out monster book patterns with scissors, cutting inside the traced lines for a clean finished project.
Flip the book over on your work surface. Using a glue gun and glue sticks, attach the teeth to the edge and the forked tongue at an angle.
To finish, attach five wiggle eyes of various sizes to the top of the monster book of monsters with a glue gun and glue sticks.
