About this book
From the wonderfully funny world of The Beano comes a new pair of best friends whose fart-fuelled adventures will have readers rolling about laughing: meet Betty and her furry pal Yeti!
This unlikely pair have lots in common, a penchant for pranks, a distrust of “groan-ups” and, of course, an appreciation for the smellier things in life...
Betty must use all her ingenuity to keep this hairy guest a secret from her parents, leading to plenty of hilarious situations as she tries to conceal the enormous, clumsy (but loveable) Yeti.
This fast-paced collection of comic strips is perfect for newly independent readers or those looking for a quick blast of humour. Each story is between 1-2 pages in length, perfect for dipping in and out of. The book is divided into four main sections which match the seasons, and pages are colour coded to help children navigate between them.
As an existing feature in The Beano, Betty and the Yeti are a tried and trusted combo and Hugh Raine’s humour shines through in every strip. The book also features lots of games and activities for readers to enjoy as they progress.
