Bookroo's summary

Larf, a solitary sasquatch, enjoys his secret life in the woods with his pet bunny, Eric. But when he learns another sasquatch might appear in Hunderfitz, his world turns upside down. Eager for companionship, Larf dons a disguise and heads to the city, hoping to meet a fellow sasquatch. What awaits him are unexpected surprises that could change everything. Will Larf find the friend he's been longing for, or will his adventure lead to something entirely unforeseen? Join Larf on a whimsical journey filled with humor and heart.

From the publisher

No one believes Larf exists, and he likes it that way. Larf, you see, is a sasquatch, the only sasquatch in the world (or so it seems). He has a very pleasant, and very private, life in the woods, where on any given day he might be found jogging, gardening or walking Eric, his pet bunny. But everything changes one morning when Larf discovers that another sasquatch is scheduled to make an appearance in the nearby city of Hunderfitz. What?! That must mean he’s not the only sasquatch in the world! Excited by the prospect of having a friend to share hair grooming tips with (and let’s face it, teeter-tottering alone is no fun), Larf disguises himself as a city slicker and heads for Hunderfitz — where he’s in for a couple enormous surprises. Ashley Spires once again shows her chops for creating irresistible, quirky characters and laugh-aloud stories and illustrations. Readers with little feet and big feet will fall head over heels for Larf.
