Horn Book (Mon Aug 01 00:00:00 CDT 2011)

Tackling the age-old Bigfoot myth in six easy-to-read chapters, Worth lays out the legend's history then provides "scientific proof" and other explanations of the creature's existence--without verbalizing an explicit pro-Bigfoot stance. Nelson's stiff illustrations are supplemented by archival photos. The inquisitive tone ("...we will keep our minds open and our eyes on the deep woods. And we will wonder...") is imagination-inducing.

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.
