Children's Day & Summer Book Review - The Bigfoot Field Guide to Campers (And Other Mysterious Creatures)

I love it when an author "turns" the story around and writes a fun, but unexpected story. This is exactly what I. M. Furry (with help from Jami Gigot) did in the delightful book, The Bigfoot Field Guide to Campers (And Other Mysterious Creatures) from Kids Can Press! While any story which combines campers and Big Foot has the potential to be a fun and surprising story, this one delivers on this potential in a way which is sure to make it a favorite book of the children you love!

Favorite Features -

• The illustrations are filled with so much detail, humor, color, and fun! Not only will children enjoy hearing/reading the story, but they are going to love the pictures and discovering all the extra details in these illustrations.
• I fully enjoyed the humor in this story and how it is written from the perspective of the author (I. M. Furry?) 
• Provides the opportunity to have important conversations with the children you love about not judging others, but choosing instead to really get to know them.

Kids Can Press says, "While there are many dangerous creatures in the forest, there’s one species which Bigfoot fears most: campers! They’re smelly and noisy, and they make a mess of everything. Thankfully, Bigfoot has ten simple guidelines sure to keep anyone safe from these interlopers. Only, when he slips up on Guideline #2 – ”Never, EVER allow yourself to be seen by a camper“ – Bigfoot’s surprised to find himself ignoring his own advice to help one who is lost. Could it be he’s had the wrong idea about campers all along?

In this fresh, flipped take on Bigfoot, readers discover how reconsidering what we think we know about others can be a great way to make a friend. Jami Gigot’s hilarious storytelling features text describing what not to do playfully juxtaposed with art which completely contradicts it!"

The Bigfoot Field Guide to Campers (And Other Mysterious Creatures) is a story you will not mind reading to the children you love, no matter how many nights in a row they ask for this book! This is a wonderful book choice for Children's Day, a birthday, or Summer Reading Fun - you will find it at this link.
