Laker's World, A Bigfoot Story - Hardcover

by T. B. Hickson (Author), Bryan Skinnell (Illustrator)

Laker, a young Bigfoot, has a superpower. He can smell a mouse behind a rock and a rabbit sleeping in a hole. But smell isn't his only super sense. He needs to use all of his senses, along with his mind and heart, if he is going to find the truth behind three mystery creatures.

As he searches, he encounters...

• the hot-eyed sun and a cool-eyed moon,
• stars that come down from the sky,
• animals he wants to avoid and ones who just want to play,
• a growling monster with round legs,
• and a friend he never expected.

While the story entertains with a touch of humor, it teaches science concepts appropriate for third and fourth grades: observation skills, the five senses, nocturnal and diurnal animals, carnivores, herbivores, omnivores, and more.
