Karen reads Bigfoot and the Mitten

A fun reading of the fantastic, Michigan based picture book, 'Bigfoot and the Mitten' read by the author Karen Bell-Brege. A story about a Bigfoot who sees a sassy robin taking a mitten to her nest, and thinks he lost his mitten. So the robin agrees to help him find it, and takes him across Michigan looking for it. Funny, rhyming and heart-felt as the odd duo discover some of the most beautiful, interesting, and historic places in the state. It's pure Michigan throughout, and a wonderful learning tool for students, and perfect for teachers and librarians, featuring Michigan facts in the back of the book.

As Bigfoot and a robin are in search of Bigfoot’s lost mitten this adventurous and humorous book takes you on a delightful ride. This unlikely duo visits many of Michigan’s most wonderful and well-known sites. The touching ending proves that what you may think you lost, can really be found at home.

Learn to draw Bigfoot's smiling face!

Here's a quick sketch of Bigfoot's face from our picture book 'Bigfoot and the Mitten' to teach you how to draw him. We start out drawing in blue, so it's really light, then we clean up the sketch with black lines. It's like using a light pencil then inking over it. Follow along and build the expression around our shapes and guidelines. Go ahead, give it a try. You can pause the video between the steps...Have fun!
