Brockenbrough, Martha Finding Bigfoot: Everything you need to know
160 pgs. Feiwel
& Friends, 2013. $14.99. Content:
Language: G (0 swears); Mature Content: G; Violence: G.
This giant book
is literally everything a student might want to know about Bigfoot, from its
name in other countries, very current sighting counts, experts in the field,
major and minor sightings, and much more. It is based on the Animal Planet TV
show called Finding Bigfoot. Bright and full of colorful pictures.
Although this
book is pretty large, it contains simplified scientific techniques and
wonderful explanations (In some cases they were very careful to be G rated). It
can easily work for upper elementary or higher. My only complaint is that specific
photographic sightings are talked about, but not shown. There was also some
repetitive imagery, which could fail to keeps students attention. The
publishing house should have helped this author get more image permissions. I
thought this book was really interesting and fun and I think students will
too!!
