Bigfoot: Behind the Legend - Book

$9.99

Erin Peabody's Bigfoot is one title in Little Bee Books' Behind the Legend series, published in 2017. The series examines legendary creatures through a scientific lens and asks whether the evidence holds up. It's a natural fit for young readers who grew up hearing about Sasquatch in the forests of the Pacific Northwest.

Library catalogs shelve it as juvenile nonfiction on the Sasquatch and on monsters, curiosities and wonders. The 128-page book mixes anecdotes, sidebars and illustrations, so middle-grade readers can weigh the evidence and make up their own minds.

Learn all about creatures and monsters throughout history and discover if they're real or not in this new nonfiction series!

Behind the Legend looks at creatures and monsters throughout history and analyzes them through a scientific, mythbusting lens, debating whether or not the sightings and evidence provided are adequate proof of their existence. In Bigfoot, readers learn about all the sightings and proof of it, from the famous photograph and video to footprints and other evidence. It also discusses additional history about the monster, such as how Bigfoot became a major figure in popular culture, and how other versions of the creature (such as the Yeti) have been seen around the world. Complete with engaging anecdotes, interesting sidebars, and fantastic illustrations, kids won't want to put this book down!

Erin Peabody loves getting young people excited about the fascinating and quirky workings of our natural world. She's worked as a park ranger at the National Mall in Washington, D.C., the Dry Tortugas in the Gulf of Mexico, and Yellowstone, before becoming an author. Among her favorite topics are grizzly bears, sea turtles, carnivorous crickets, and geysers that spout once a century. Erin lives with her husband, daughter, and yellow lab, Luna, in the leafy hills of Cincinnati, Ohio.
