When Bigfoot loses the valentines he meant to send to his fellow monsters in hiding, scouts from all over the world come together to deliver the letters.
It's lonely being a monster. But having other mythical pen pals helps. When Bigfoot loses the Valentine's Day cards he so tenderly made for his friends around the world, a troop of scouts offers to help. But they will have to get creative to find every mythical creature in time! Sarah Glenn Marsh and Ishaa Lobo team up again for a sweet Valentine's Day tale about the value of friends, both new and old.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
A thoughtful creature of lore and a troop of empathetic scouts bring the idea of a special Valentine's Day delivery to a whole new level. Bigfoot, who's not a fan of loud noises and often feels lonely while keeping out of sight in the forest, knows the lift that a piece of mail can offer. That's why he's made Valentine's Day cards to send to his network of equally solitary mythical pen pals, including Scotland's Nessie, who "stays deep underwater" to avoid notice, and Puerto Rico's Chupacabra, a gardener who works solo at night. But on the way to the post office, Bigfoot unintentionally frightens some human scouts on a camping trip and nearly derails the plan. Luckily, a trio of campers who "always sit apart from the rest" whip out a laptop to recruit fellow scouts globally and deliver Bigfoot's cards to unconventional addresses ("Mothman, the Grassy Hill"). It's a spunky blend of silly and sweet that will serve as an introvert's holiday treat. Human characters are portrayed with various skin tones. Ages 3–7.
