The Thing About Yetis is just too awesome of a children’s book to not make it into our 25 Days of Books. Not only is this a fun read, but the illustrations are fantastic! My five-year old has enjoyed reading this book over and over.
The perfect snowy day read, The Thing About Yetis by Vin Vogel follows a yeti who loves waking up on chilly mornings and playing in the snow. However, winter can be tough and even yeti gets cranky about the cold and misses the sunny summer.
Unlike the scary yetis of lore, Vogel’s yetis are loveable, fluffy white fur-balls that truly adore winter. They love snowball fights, hot chocolate, sledding, and building snow castles. But even yetis get the shivers, and even yetis get the blustery winter blues. So here’s a secret about yetis: Sometimes they miss summer, just like everyone else. Sometimes they have to bring a little bit of summer to the coldest of winter days by creating their own summer vacation. Those yetis, they’re just full of surprises!
Our thoughts:
Get this book! Seriously, you won’t be disappointed! I love the new take it has on the Yeti. Who would have thought that a Yeti gets tired of winter just like us and dreams of the warmth of summer. Both of my boys have enjoyed this book and per request of my five-year old it’s ready several times a day.
If you’re like me, then you want to see the inside of books before purchasing. Sometimes with shopping online that can be hard. I have debated a book for two weeks now and we don’t have a bookstore near us so there was no way to look inside. I had searched and searched with no luck. This weekend we headed to a book store while Christmas shopping and I found the book. I was immediately sold once I opened it up. With that being said, here is a peak at what you can expect with The Thing About Yetis.
