內容簡介
Is Bigfoot (aka Sasquatch) a descendent of the extinct giant ape Gigantopithecus? Or is it a myth turned pop-culture phenom that we want to believe is real? In this objectively written graded reader, author Bonnie Worth examines the evidence for and against the existence of the alleged ape, including its role in native North American folklore, famous sightings and notorious hoaxes, Dr. Grover Kranz’s work with dermal ridges, the Gigantopithecus theory, the Patterson-Gimlin film, and much, much more. Illustrated with photographs and full-color illustrations, this high-concept easy reader will satisfy both skeptics and true believers.

精彩書評
"Is Bigfoot a real ape like creature who lurks in the woods of North America and elsewhere or is he a figment of many imaginations or a perhaps even a hoax? The author presents facts as well as some of the hoaxes that have surrounded this creature. She relates several sightings and the big scam that made the newspapers. A man named Ray Wallace had faked the large footprints that were found. Even though no large apes lived in North America, there are stories told by the Native Americans of a large creature sometimes called Sasquatch or Oh-Mah and there are ancient carvings and masks that resemble the face of an ape like creature that have been found in this area. Readers then go back a little in time to research in China that revealed the bones of a very large ape-like creature some called a Yeti and others an Abominable Snowman. One possible theory is that in the distant past when Asia and North America were connected, these ape-like creatures could have crossed from one continent to the other. There are scientists called Cryptozoologists who study animals and are seeking scientific proof that mythic animals do or did exist. There is no real answer, just food for thought. The illustrations are a combination of drawings, photographs and documents to make the book feel more like it is a research paper than a story. A Level 4 book in the "Step into Reading" series. There is a note to parents on the opening page and additional books in the series listed on the inside cover."

Donnelly gives simple details about how King Tutankhamen was buried and the ancient Egyptians beliefs about death. The story then skips ahead to the 1800s, when Howard Carter's frustrating five-year search for Egyptian treasure finally resulted in his discovery of the young pharoah's tomb. Although there's little new information here, these true tales of mummies and ancient treasure in an easy-reader format should prove popular. Ventura and Ceserani's In Search of Tutankhamum (Silve

重新看瞭一遍這套書卻得到瞭與以前不同的感受。也許,有些人會認為童話很幼稚,充滿夢幻,很不真實。但我卻覺得童話也富有哲理,以前我聽故事,隻注意故事情節,卻忽略瞭它所包含的寓意,而現在我卻從中學到瞭很多,每一則有趣的故事都有其深刻的人生哲理。他有時告訴我們做事不能太貪心,多做一些能夠幫助彆人的事,將來一定會得到好報。有時則說明瞭凡事不能光看錶麵,美的本質終究有一天會被人們發現的。有時教我懂得瞭對待父母長輩要孝順;有時教會我們,每個人都要正確地認識自己,選擇適閤自己的工作,不能輕信彆人,盲目地從事自己不能勝任的工作,否則,後果不堪設想,害己又害人。童話,總是充滿瞭教學意義的。
