Great book for children or teens to learn about the mystery of Bigfoot.

7 years old son loved it.

Interests the 6yo into reading

Good book

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.
