内容简介
Is Bigfoot (aka Sasquatch) a descendent of the extinct giant ape Gigantopithecus? Or is it a myth turned pop-culture phenom that we want to believe is real? In this objectively written graded reader, author Bonnie Worth examines the evidence for and against the existence of the alleged ape, including its role in native North American folklore, famous sightings and notorious hoaxes, Dr. Grover Kranz’s work with dermal ridges, the Gigantopithecus theory, the Patterson-Gimlin film, and much, much more. Illustrated with photographs and full-color illustrations, this high-concept easy reader will satisfy both skeptics and true believers.

精彩书评
"Is Bigfoot a real ape like creature who lurks in the woods of North America and elsewhere or is he a figment of many imaginations or a perhaps even a hoax? The author presents facts as well as some of the hoaxes that have surrounded this creature. She relates several sightings and the big scam that made the newspapers. A man named Ray Wallace had faked the large footprints that were found. Even though no large apes lived in North America, there are stories told by the Native Americans of a large creature sometimes called Sasquatch or Oh-Mah and there are ancient carvings and masks that resemble the face of an ape like creature that have been found in this area. Readers then go back a little in time to research in China that revealed the bones of a very large ape-like creature some called a Yeti and others an Abominable Snowman. One possible theory is that in the distant past when Asia and North America were connected, these ape-like creatures could have crossed from one continent to the other. There are scientists called Cryptozoologists who study animals and are seeking scientific proof that mythic animals do or did exist. There is no real answer, just food for thought. The illustrations are a combination of drawings, photographs and documents to make the book feel more like it is a research paper than a story. A Level 4 book in the "Step into Reading" series. There is a note to parents on the opening page and additional books in the series listed on the inside cover."

在那些新颖、鲜活、生动的童话中,我找到了另一个多彩而真实的世界,幼小的心灵认识和感受到了什么是真善美,什么是假丑恶,要以充满童真的心看待自己身边的一切。我更清晰地认识到:并不是所有人都是善良的,恶毒的人总会遭到惩罚。灰姑娘没有得到爱心,但是她却珍惜自己的爱心,没有因为别人不能够给予自己爱心就变得恶毒起来。她把自己的爱心用在了对母亲的倾诉上,她把自己的爱心用在了对小鸟的交往上,用在了那株美丽的大榛树上……更重要的是她并没有因为境遇不好而放弃美好的追求。尽管受尽了继母与姐姐们的欺负与侮辱,但心地依旧善良的她,最终获得了幸福。
