Publisher Description
All Yeti wants to do after a long day in the woods is to close his eyes and go to sleep. But something is not right! Shadows lurk, sounds creak, and there are monsters...or are there? This entertaining bedtime book featuring the fierce and frenetic GAMAGO Yeti will amuse and delight kids, all while encouraging them to turn out the light and go to sleep! Plus, this is the fixed format version, which will look almost identical to the print version. Additionally for devices that support audio, this ebook includes a read-along setting.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
There's nothing more frightening than a yeti unless that yeti is frightened. This one is a homely fellow with red eyes, gray-blue fur, and snaggleteeth, and he's snuggled in bed in his underground forest lair (where his rustic decor includes a birch-bark lampshade). He'd like to go to sleep, but he keeps seeing scary shadows the kind with tendrils and claws that spill from wall to ceiling. Fortunately, the book's page-turns always reveal them to have been cast by groups of harmless, liquid-eyed forest creatures who have come to visit: "On the light goes,/ and to Yeti's surprise,/ he sees only bunnies,/ and their big bunny eyes." Kirwan dials the visiting animals' cuteness factor to the max, and her exuberantly colored spreads have the look of '60s TV cartoons; the writers are the founders of GAMAGO, a West Coast design firm. The complex shadows correspond, more or less, to the strange postures the animals take a terrifying Frankenstein's monster shadow, for example, proves to be an owl sitting on a bear's head with a teapot in its wing. It's a cheerfully executed, laugh-out-loud exploration of fear and the dark. Ages 3 5.
