Searching for Sasquatch and Other Books for Children

Not long after posting my story about Bigfoot, I became aware of a book for children by Nathaniel Lachenmeyer called Searching for Sasquatch, ?a compelling, original story about the adventures of a cryptozoologist and his skeptical son.?

Despite what some skeptics might think of cryptozoology, it is a subject of great interest to children (think dragons and such)?I myself was drawn to the subject as a young teen?and a great way to get children hooked on the natural sciences.

Other books by Lachenmeyer that might be of interest to birders with nestlings at home include The Decoy, a comic story about a lighthouse keeper who is convinced that the duck he has carved?a merganser?has come to life (available in June); and Broken Beaks, the story of a sparrow with a missing bill that helps educate youngsters about the tragedy of people who are homeless or mentally ill (available in the U.S. in fall 2007).
