Product Description
Is Bigfoot (aka Sasquatch) a descendent of the extinct giant ape Gigantopithecus? Or is it a myth turned pop-culture phenom that we want to believe is real? In this objectively written graded reader, author Bonnie Worth examines the evidence for and against the existence of the alleged ape, including its role in native North American folklore, famous sightings and notorious hoaxes, Dr. Grover Kranz’s work with dermal ridges, the Gigantopithecus theory, the Patterson-Gimlin film, and much, much more. Illustrated with photographs and full-color illustrations, this high-concept easy reader will satisfy both skeptics and true believers.

This review is from: Looking for Bigfoot (Paperback)
I have most bigfoot books that have been published as it is a favorite subject of mine, and my 7 year old has always been anxious to learn more. I found this book by chance on a search and was very excited because I had already used the Step Into Learning books with him before. I was slightly concerned that this book would make a joke out of what I consider a serious topic but when it arrived I could see it is actually a very fair and balanced report on the subject. It presents bigfoot as a probable reality considering the evidence (Patterson footage, casts, and thousands of credible sighting reports). This book includes some detailed reports with beautiful illustrations of the encounters. I got it for a 7 year old but the reading level is designed for older as it includes some rather big words. There is a section on Ray Wallace and the hoax footprints he made. There is a great section that goes into native and worldwide history concerning bigfoot. It has the words 'cryptozoology' and 'cryptozoologist' when explaining the creatures that are investigated but might seem mythical. There is a section on scientific proof. Then a great section on the Patterson footage including the actual photograph (not illustration) of frame 352. (Note to parents: a sentence in this section suggests that the subject in the footage must be female because of the visible breasts.) The book concludes with musings on what the future of bigfoot research might involve (bones or fossils) and that until that day comes we should keep open minds and open eyes. A fantastic book! My son loves it and we usually read it together so he can pronounce all the words. Thank you to Step Into Reading and Bonnie Worth and Jim Nelson for making a realistic and nonfiction bigoot book available for children.

This review is from: Looking for Bigfoot (Paperback)
My seven year old son has recently become interested in bigfoot. He is into the animal planet series "Finding Bigfoot". He is in first grade and is a learning to read, we help him out with this one, but he loves it and all his friends at school did too.

My students love it., May 12 2012
By Science Teacher - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Looking for Bigfoot (Paperback)
I ordered the book because one of my second grade students wanted to learn more about the Bigfoot stories. I asked him did he want a fiction book or did he want a more scientific book. His answer was "scientific" and I think this did this reasonably well. The book gave several eyewitness accounts and was written on an appropriate level for the students. I had to make a reserve list so that the students could take turns, and at this point three have read and enjoyed the book.
Listmania!
