Bigfoot has the best résumé in monsterdom: a permanent address in the Pacific Northwest, one shaky reel of film that people have been arguing about since 1967, and a footprint you can pour plaster into and take to school. Children find him irresistible for the exact reason grown-ups find him a little embarrassing — at seven, the question is genuinely open, and a creature who might be real beats one who definitely isn’t. Children’s writers worked out long ago that he is also very funny: enormous, shy, deeply private, and forever stepping behind a tree the second anyone produces a camera.
Bookroo’s collection of Bigfoot books runs from a flap book for toddlers to a swamp novel that will keep an eleven-year-old awake. Our editors chose 15 favorites — picture-book comedies about a sasquatch who only wants to be left alone, short chapter series for readers who want a monster and a laugh in the same sitting, graphic novels, camp mysteries that always end with an explanation, and the nonfiction to hand over when “is he real?” stops being a rhetorical question. Start with the shortlist, then browse the shelves by age below.
