Books… I absolutely adore books; books of travel and adventure, books about history, books about science, books about nothing and nonsense, I love them all.
Our Sponsors for the Gratitude Giveaway Event are National Geographic Kids Books & Mary Ann Fraiser the author of No Yeti Yet
One of this winter’s most heartwarming stories, No Yeti Yet by Mary Ann Fraser – a playful tale of brotherly love and childhood mischief from Peter Pauper Press. Sold at Amazon.com for $14.04.
On a snowy winter day, two brothers set out on a quest to find a Yeti. As they skate and sled their way across the landscape—unwittingly helped along by the Yeti they seek—the eldest brother patiently answers question after question, teaching his younger brother everything he knows about the mysterious monster. Parents will recognize the unique relationship between an older and younger sibling in the boys’ endearing banter. The short and snappy dialogue will keep young readers engaged to the very end when the boys finally come face-to-face with the furry creature and an unexpected twist turns the littlest brother into the teacher, as he befriends the Yeti and shows his frightened big brother that it’s not really a monster after all.
Fraser’s beautiful, full-color illustrations bring the chilly winter air to life with icy blues and whites that contrast with the brothers’ bright red and green attire. Parents will appreciate the underlying message that you can’t judge a book by its cover, while children will delight in reading this charming tale all year long.
No Yeti Yet is a fun story your children will enjoy reading again and again. My granddaughters took delight in searching for the Yeti upon the turn of each page. She was giggling when the Yeti was holding up the bridge and again when disguised with snow by the pond. Several members of our family LOVE winter and the snowy season. They can hardly wait to be outdoors playing, sledding, and having a good time with their parents, brothers, sisters, cousins, aunts, and uncles.
