Meet the Bigfeet

Evidently there are mysterious, hidden creatures living around the world but no one has ever been able to prove their existence.  Collectively called cryptids, they include beings such as trolls, unicorns, the loch ness monster, werewolves, goblins, mermaids, etc.  Blizz Richards is a yeti.  His cousin, Brian, was once photographed and immediately went into hiding.  George Vanquist, a rather inept crytptozoologist, took the photo of Brian and is on the hunt for other cryptids.  Blizz travels from Nepal to the wilds of Canada to search for Brian and to hold a family reunion.  George Vanquist and his underappreciated dog, Noodles, also arrive in British Columbia, Canada to hunt for proof of Bigfoot.  With so many cryptids gathered in one place, it is no surprise that Vanquist stumbles upon the reunion and snaps several photos.  He orders Noodles to put the camera in his bag as he envisions his new success.  Noodles has finally had enough of George and hands the camera over to the cryptids.  Proof gone.  Cryptids live safely on, undocumented.  The storyline tends to wander.  It is lack-luster and sometimes confusing.  Numerous black and white illustrations depict round-eyed, large mouthed characters.  The target audience would be young readers with an interest in friendly monsters.
