By Jami Gigot

The Bigfoot Field Guide to Campers (and Other Mysterious Creatures) by Jami Gigot is a charming story told from Bigfoot’s point of view. Styled as a guide for sasquatches, it warns about the mysterious and dangerous creatures known as “campers.” The text offers tips on how to stay safe when campers enter the woods, and these are peppered with a bit of potty humor that will keep elementary-age kids laughing.

The text of the book is contrasted with the illustrations. While Bigfoot is advised to stay far away from humans, the pictures tell a sweeter story of a forming friendship between a camper and a sasquatch. It’s a cute and funny book that encourages looking beyond fear and embracing connection.
