Summary
It's a snowy, blowy, wintry day -- just perfect for a yeti hunt! Or so thinks big brother. But younger brother is not as convinced. Questions abound: Have you ever seen a yeti? Is a yeti strong? Can a yeti run fast?

Children will love trying to find the yeti in the pictures as the boys continue on their quest.

Ages 4 to 8. Hardcover picture book with dust jacket. Full color throughout. 11-1/4 inches wide by 9-3/4 inches high (28.58 cm wide x 24.77 cm high). 32 pages. Mary Ann Fraser wrote and illustrated her first picture book in the second grade -- which received critical acclaim and a starred review from Mom and Dad. She graduated from UCLA and then went on to spend a year abroad studying at England's Exeter College of Art and Design. Since then, she has gone on to write and illustrate more than 60 books for children, winning accolades along the way -- including School Library Journal's ''Best Book of the Year'' and American Booksellers' ''Pick of the List.'' She currently resides in sunny southern California, but can often be found in colder climates searching high and low for yetis.
Published Reviews
Booklist Review: "One cold and snowy day, a boy declares to his little brother, It's a perfect day for a yeti hunt! and out they go into the wilderness to photograph a yeti. The younger boy peppers his brother with questions, particularly wanting to know if they are getting close, to which the older brother patiently responds, Nope. No yeti yet. All the while, the yeti a big, not even remotely scary creature lurks, watching the clueless boys throughout their excursion. When the two finally make contact, they throw up their arms in fright camera flying and scramble back home with the yeti in close pursuit, but with good intentions. All ends well over cocoa, and the boys get their photo: a yeti selfie. Humor abounds throughout the snow-filled scenes, which impart more comfort than fright, and the boys' yeti encounter will elicit shrieks of laughter. With a nod to Michael Rosen's classic We're Going on a Bear Hunt (1989), this has a style, rhythm, and made-for-storytellers refrain of its own.--Enos, Randall Copyright 2015 Booklist"

Publisher's Weekly Review: "Two brothers set out into the snowy terrain outside their farm house in search of a yeti-the older brother leads the charge, while the younger one has a lot of questions. "Why would we want to find a yeti?" asks the smaller brother as they bundle up. "To take its picture, of course," responds the other boy. Fraser (Heebie-Jeebie Jamboree) tells her story through dialogue, and the larger font used for the older brother's speech helps readers keep track of who's talking and hints at the authoritativeness and certainty that come with being an elder sibling. Verbal and visual gags keep the story moving briskly; the yeti/yet wordplay of the title recurs throughout, and while it takes the boys a while to find the yeti, readers will have fun spotting the creature-a furry (and friendly) behemoth with a strong resemblance to the Abominable Snow Creature of the North from the Rankin/Bass holiday classic, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer-as it keeps tabs on them. Light, wintry fun for the cryptozoologically inclined. Ages 4-8. Agent: Abigail Samoun, Red Fox Literary. (Sept.) © Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved."
