Description
Meet Bigfoot and Nessie! Yes, that Bigfoot and Nessie. Only ... Well, things are a little complicated right now. Bigfoot is having trouble fitting in with his family. He can never quite manage to get himself into the picture, much to the disappointment of his mum, dad, and sister, who always want to be in the spotlight. When he meets Nessie, who’s equally desperate to get away from the cameras, he begins to ask himself the ultimate question: What’s the price of fame after all? Big-hearted and clever, The Art of Getting Noticed by Chelsea M. Campbell and Laura Knetzger invites us to explore our most tender selves through friendship and creativity — and have quite a bit of fun in between!
Review
Bigfoot Littletoe the Third just wants to be noticed and photographed like the rest of his family. But he knows he isn’t important, and his personality means that he is destined to remain in the background.
But when a tourist named Nessie arrives in town, Bigfoot finally finds a friend.
Nessie isn’t like the others, and encourages Bigfoot to have a go at things. Bigfoot is so worried about what others think that he doesn’t know how to have fun and explore new things.
Nessie knows all about being noticed, and even though Bigfoot doesn’t recognise her at first, she likes it that way.
Can she show Bigfoot that being popular isn’t all that it is made out to be?
This is a delightful junior graphic novel about friendship, being yourself, trying new things, accepting who you really are, and realising what is important in life.
