Upper-elementary and middle-school students who enjoy reading about Bigfoot will thoroughly enjoy “In Search of Sasquatch.” This beautifully illustrated book draws on interviews with crypto-zoologists, linguistics experts, anthropologists, biologists, and others to examine evidence of the existence of Sasquatch. It uses eyewitness accounts (including the famous Patterson-Gimlin film), compelling cases, footprints, audiotape footage, and other evidence to help students ponder for themselves whether they believe Bigfoot exists. The author explains the terms "crypto-zoology" and "Sasquatch" and explains their origins. From early Native-American sources to the Patterson-Gimlin Film and new technologies, readers will gain a great deal of knowledge of Bigfoot. Sasquatch field expeditions and Animal Planet’s program “Finding Bigfoot,” are covered, and students learn that while thousands of people believe in Sasquatch and hundreds say that they have seen it, they should read the facts for themselves and choose whether to believe in Bigfoot or be skeptical of its existence.
Also included are beautiful color photographs and illustrations; a map of Sasquatch sightings in North America; a list of recommended books, videos, and websites; a bibliography; source notes; a glossary; and an index. Subjects: Sasquatch; Cryptozoology Charleen Forba-Mayer
