Big Foot by M P Robertson
There is a creature lurking in the deep, dark woods. Something big… something hairy… One crisp, bright night a little girl hears his sad song. She follows his huge snowy footprints deep into the darkness of the forest. Cold and shivering, she becomes lost in the falling snow, far from home. Suddenly, from behind a tree, she spies a large, hairy face with gentle eyes. It is Big Foot. From acclaimed writer and illustrator, M.P. Robertson, comes this heart-warming story of an unusual friendship.
The gentle illustrations and evocative text combine to make a story of sadness and yearning, but in the end, real pleasure Carousel A heart-warming tale..the story is well written, with mystery and excitement, and a wonderfully happy ending. The beautiful illustrations are highly atmospheric, and it is the perfect tale for a cold wintry night School Librarian The story has a poignant innocence, as well as a heart-warming ending. The bold illustrations enhance the text beautifully. www.booktrustchildrensbooks.org.uk
