The bunny rabbit was the best thing about it.

Well that was cute enough, but it didn't move me enough to inspire me to say anything here about it.

sasquatch story

Poor Larf seems to be the only Bigfoot of his kind. And he's a little set in his ways. But when he hears of the opportunity to meet another real-life, genuine Bigfoot, he's intrigued enough to make the journey into the city. He's disappointed to find that he has been fooled again...or has he?

Cute, funny, and with a final scene that reminds me a little of Forrest Gump.

Larf is a wonderful creature who believes he is one of a kind. Learning that there is another Sasquatch in town, he goes to visit. Recommended for late primary grades-not the younger Blue Spruce audience
