About this book
Humans have decided that yetis definitely don’t exist… which is news to the yetis themselves. Outraged by being cancelled by humans, the yetis decide that they should prove their existence to us and set off on a long journey down from the remote, snowy mountains they live on.
However, as the yetis search for any trace of human, they are bamboozled at every turn. Finally, they follow the noise of a pumping nightclub in a deserted town – surely THIS will be where the humans are hiding? Or, is it simply true that humans don’t exist?
This adorable book – featuring some very cute yetis – also features a delightful rhyming text which would be perfect for bedtime as well as a more up-tempo storytime. Loretta Schauer’s illustrations, which will appeal to fans of Elys Dolan, have lots of delightful detail to spot within them, and a double-page map to admire.
There’s also a lovely message here about not adopting a “seeing is believing” mindset, and, instead, choosing to believe in magic.
