Review Quotes

New experiences are on the menu for "little" Betty Yeti in this chapter book for young readers ready for longer sentences and narratives. When the Yeti family moves from the snowy mountains to a city apartment, Betty is nervous to meet humans. Her fear escalates when a knock at their door reveals two of their new neighbors, a man and a little girl, who give the Yetis a big dish of something called spaghetti. Betty bravely tries some, hoping it will taste like snowball surprise, only to find it most definitely does not. Betty runs to her room with a cry of "I HATE spaghetti!" but is followed by the girl, Cecilia, who gently turns their disastrous first encounter into a new friendship. Young readers will be charmed by the idea of a yeti family moving into a human neighborhood and identify with many of Betty's feelings in the face of so much change. Cute digital illustrations in saturated colors pepper the four chapters, and a page of discussion and writing prompts further promotes reader engagement.--Julia Smith "Booklist"
