One
day Betty finds some hairy, smelly clothes out in the snow and wonders who
could they belong to?
She sets off to find out and on her way, she meets local
animals like a polar bear, a whale and an arctic hare.
Each of the animals
explain that they have other ways to keep warm, and they don’t need clothes.
Finally she finds the owner of the clothes and it is not what she expected. At
first Betty is a little terrified of the Yeti, but they soon become friends.
The
animals on Betty’s journey are also initially scared of the Yeti but they soon
find, through Betty’s help, that they don’t need to be.
Betty and the Yeti features fun rhyming
words and perfectly matched mixed media illustrations. It sends a lovely
message about making friends and how you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover.
