Publisher Description
This energetic, laugh-out-loud picture book about one boy's quest to find a yeti is perfect for fans of Uni the Unicorn and Dear Yeti.
Henry loves yetis.
Yes, yetis.
The problem is nobody knows if yetis actually exist. Henry, however, is sure they do, and he sets off on an expedition to find one. He has packed everything he needs, including a camera to take photos for evidence. But can he find a yeti? And will anyone believe him when he returns home?
Told through charming illustrations, this is a heart-warming and witty story about believing in yourself (and yetis).
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Henry has round, red spectacles and a turtleneck, and his hair stands straight up. He also adores yetis ("Yes, yetis") and is certain that they exist, despite his schoolmates' scornful laughter. So he packs carefully and sets off on an expedition to find one ("Remember, no staying up late," his father tells him, otherwise unconcerned by his son heading out alone). There's no yeti to be found in the mountains, and Henry considers going back. Then Henry happens upon two white legs as thick as tree trunks. Ayto (The Somethingosaur) narrates with characteristic British understatement "Oh!" is all Henry says about his success. Back at home, the camera Henry carefully packed to gather evidence is lost and the principal scoffs, but Henry is vindicated in a most satisfying way. Ayto delivers pure whimsy, and his engaging narrative voice will divert young listeners. Cartoon line drawings add sly charm to this tale of a boy who makes a very large new friend and wins the respect of his doubters. Ages 3 6.
