YETIS DON'T EXIST!
The news swirled over mountains, skipped through lakes and out to sea. Until who should hear it? Iggy the YETI and all his YETI friends. And they were a little bit surprised. So, the yetis who absolutely DO exist only had one option - to set off on a HUMAN search and help to change their minds!
The yetis trekked down steep slopes and through snowy forests when suddenly they saw gleaming streetlights up ahead. . . but found a strangely EMPTY town! The yetis searched high and low, yet the humans were NOWHERE to be seen. Surely that could only mean one thing. . .
A wonderful, wintry story with a HUGE twist and a brilliantly clever visual narrative that will have all readers laughing out loud! Perfect for fans of The Littlest Yak, The Big Freeze, The Best Bear Tracker and I Did See a Mammoth.

Reviews / Votes
Superb illustrations, quirky facts and playful rhyme make this picture book an absolute delight. * The Sun * Thompson delivers the wonderfully winning and wintry rhyme which has a HUGE twist in its tail and is brought to life by Schauer's colourful and comical illustrations. Laughter all the way! * Lancashire Evening Post * A hilarious, gentle story which'll warm your heart during this cold season. Gorgeously illustrated, it's a great immersion into the snowy mountains and the home of the yetis. * Check 'Em Out Books * From its beautiful foiled front cover to the very end of the story, this is a gorgeous book to look at thanks to illustrator Loretta Schauer's stunning artwork, which will delight children and adults equally. Full of humour and details to spot, the pictures add hugely to the fun of Kate Thompson's rhyming text, making this a wonderful book to share - especially over the winter months, when children seem constantly to hold out hopes of it snowing. * Mrs Sydney's Famous World's Smallest Library blog * A gorgeous gift for the winter season * Mini Travellers *More details
