Plot Synopis: Larf is a Sasquatch living alone in the woods. He thinks he is the only one in the world and likes it that way. He happy alone and enjoys gardening, walking his pet bunny and jogging. He has no desire to be discovered or go to a noisy city, until one day he hears a Sasquatch will make an appearance in a nearby city. Larf decides he must meet this other Sasquatch. He puts on a disguise and heads for the city to discover a few surprises.
What I like about it and who would enjoy it: Ashley Spires has a talent for creating quirky characters and fun stories such as Binky the cat. The story of Larf could be enjoyed by any child and has a Northwest connection. I don’t think it is quite as appealing as the “Binky the cat” series.
