Yetis Are the Worst! - (The Worst!) by Alex Willan (Hardcover)

About the Book

Gilbert the Goblin is convinced yetis are not nearly as mysterious as they seem, and sets off to find one to prove once and for all that Goblins are just as cool and mysterious as the elusive yeti.

Book Synopsis

In this hilarious follow-up to Unicorns Are the Worst! and Dragons Are the Worst!, Gilbert the Goblin's next adventure takes him to the frozen tundra where he's determined to find the legendary yeti.

Gilbert the Goblin is the first to admit that he was, ahem, mistaken--unicorns actually throw the best tea parties, and dragons make delicious ice cream soup. This time, though, he can absolutely confirm that YETIS ARE THE WORST!

Sure, they may seem cool and mysterious, but once you meet one, he's CERTAIN they're not all they're cracked up to be! And that's what Gilbert plans to do: meet a yeti. That is, if he can find one...but how hard can that be?
