The Thing About Yetis

PreS-Gr 2—This cheerful celebration of seasons will resonate with young readers who love to sled, skate, and slide through winter but also need a reminder that summer is just around the corner. The yeti protagonist is an endearingly fuzzy white gumdrop with googly eyes and a red cap with ear flaps and pom poms. The yeti enjoys fun and cozy winter activities like sledding and drinking cocoa. He loves sliding down hills on his bottom, building snow castles…and pretending he is Godzilla. Each line of text is accompanied by an animated full-page illustration of the yeti playing alone, with human friends, or with a favorite stuffed toy. "But sometimes winter can be tough… even for a yeti." He reminisces about all the fun things to do in summer like "building big sand castles" and "zipping down splashy slides" on his belly. In the end, he learns how to find the best in every season and readers will, too. The digital cartoon artwork sets the perfect tone for this romp through the seasons.
