WHAT'S TEN FEET TALL, completely covered in hair, hard to photograph, and has the largest feet in the world? Your uncle! When a spunky kid meets his long-lost Uncle Bernie, he's positive that his uncle isn't so much a Bernie as he is a BIGFOOT. But as he sets out to prove-it, he realizes that maybe Bernie's just different, and different can be a very great thing. With its HUGE Uncle Bernie fold-out and illustrations filled with hidden jokes and references to other mythological characters, this is sure to make a BIG hit with kids.
