Jay is determined to get a photo of a Bigfoot on his camping trip with the Junior Rangers. None of his friends believe in Bigfoot. But why, is there a giant footprint and who is stealing all of the snacks?

I give this book a rating of 4 stars. It was well written and had cute illustrations. This graphic novel would be good for all ages!

This book was really good. Fans of J. Torres will be pleased with another great story, and the art is wonderful as well. The book is full of whimsy, and imagination. This book is probably intended for readers who starting to get into chapter books, and it is definitely very good for this age group. People of any age can definitely enjoy this book though. Children can probably learn and develop their inferring and questioning skills while reading this book. It will draw them in and hold their attention to the end.

This is a fun graphic novel for late primary, early junior readers. Jay is positive that Sasquatch is real and he is hoping to get a picture of him/her on this camping trip. No one believes him, but there is so much evidence. I loved the print he found and what it turned out to be. So much whimsy in this cute story. Every time Jay finds a clue, there could be inference or prediction skills brought into play. The illustrations were adorable. I loved how the Sasquatch is portrayed, you could actually bring the idea of adoption in with this story as well. A fun story for kids. A great addition to a family, school, class or public library.

My seven year old loved it! Simple graphic novel with some humor. Great for early readers.

Jay is determined to find a Sasquatch on his camping trip even though his fellow campers and leader tell him there's no such thing. While the others may be skeptical, Jay is certain someone is out there.
Sass the Sasquatch and her friends keep their eye on the campers, pilfering their snacks and playing tricks. But when Jay falls into the river, Sass can't just stand back and watch anymore.

This is a fun story about friendship. Kids will enjoy the camping adventure, Jay's determination, and Sass's playfulness. This is a good graphic novel for children who are just getting started with graphic novels--not too long or too wordy.

I read a copy from the publisher via NetGalley. All opinions are my own.

3.5 stars.

  Thanks to NetGalley and publisher Owlkids Books for the ebook ARC of How to Spot a Sasquatch by J. Torres and illustrator Aurélie Grand.

  This book was a super fun read! I admit I was supposed to read this with my two boys, but I couldn’t wait! Haha. In the story we follow Jay, who is determined to get a photo of Sasquatch! Despite what the other campers say, Jay is going to get that photo!

   It’s a super fun read and I’m sure it will do great for early readers who are just getting into chapter books. The illustrations are cute and story line is even better. As a mom of boys I would definitely purchase!

  I have been a fan of J. Torres for some time now. Alison Dare is one of my all time favorite comics! He has also written some Yo Gabba Gabba,  and Batman Strikes. The list goes on and on!

It’s a great graphic novel for your little explores!

A boy at camp wants to find a Sasquatch but his friends don't believe they exist; meanwhile, a young Sasquatch loves observing the kids at camp. Great "transitional" graphic novel for early-elementary readers.

This was a fun story for the age range. The graphics were engaging and fit the text. I mean who doesn't love an adventure involving a Sasquatch?

As kids go out for a camping trip, Jay wants to see a Sasquatch. While the other kids make fun of him or roll their eyes at him for thinking they're real, Sass a Sasquatch watches the group and plays tricks on them from afar. A series of events eventually brings Sass and Jay together, but can Jay tell others about Sass? And what should Sass tell her parents?

How to Spot a Sasquatch is a fun graphic novel with great illustrations and humor throughout the story. Kids will enjoy it!

First, I must thank Netgalley for this advanced digital copy. I am always a fan of Bigfoot/Sasquatch and I grew up thinking that one lived in the forest of my local National Park so this book was awesomeness! The story follows a group of young campers on a weekend camp out. One of the Junior Rangers is Jay and he is out to get that photo of the Sasquatch. I don't want to go more into the book as not to spoil it but the story line is fun and adventurous. I would recommend this to everyone of all ages and OMG the illustrations are cute and Sassy!

How to Spot a Sasquatch is about a young camper, Jay, who is determined to prove that Sasquatches are real. While out in the woods, he endures the ridicule of fellow campers to prove that Sasquatches do exist! He brings snacks to lure one in, and has his camera ready. If he's lucky and a Sasquatch does come along, he's ready to snap a photo and prove to the world that he's right.

This story is wonderful, and shows how adamant children can be when it comes to achieving their goals. It's the perfect graphic novel for children, and readers of any age, to read in the summer, as it perfectly captures the spirit of a wild summertime adventure. It's full of friendships, adorable forest critters, and of course, the elusive Sasquatch.

Thank you to the publisher for a free e-copy of this book via Net Galley.

So incredibly adorable. This was exactly what I needed to break my blues with it's hilarious character and absurd plot.

Children will love this well written and illustrated graphic novel with it's parallel storylines. They will be routing for Jay the Junior Ranger to actually meet the Sasquatch.
I look forward to more from J. Torres.

'How to Spot a Sasquatch' by J. Torres with art by Aurelie Grand is a story about a young boy obsessed with finding an elusive creature, and the elusive creature that wants to avoid being found.

A group of Junior Rangers is on a camping trip, and Jay is determined to get a photo of Bigfoot. His friends make fun of him for it, but Jay may be on to something. Nearby, a sasquatch named Sass, gathers her animal friends to help her remain hidden, and play tricks on Jay. When the Junior Rangers leave their campfire unattended, the animals come to put it out. When Jay leaves his camera on a tripod unattended, Sass can't help but play with it and accidentally take a picture. When Jay is in real trouble, Sass decides to do the unthinkable.

I really liked this graphic novel with it's sweet story and illustrations. Sass and Jay seem destined to be friends (and hopefully have further adventures). This would be a fun one for young readers.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Owlkids Books and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
