Wonderful!! Feb 02, 2009
I am a teacher in a first/second combination classroom. I got this book for the kids and they absolutely love it! The story is whimsical, clever, and humorous, the rhyming fun, and the pictures have a unique and special appeal. The kids have asked me to read it over and over again! It has been quite a hit in my classroom and I would highly recommend this delightful book!

A true work of art Dec 21, 2008
Fantastic rhyming story with amazing artwork. This is a beautiful book on all kinds of levels.
My daughter loves it and so do her dad and I. You'll cheer for the yetis on their adventure and find out the answer once and for all if narwhals have blowholes.
Smart, funny and weird, weird wonderfully weird.

Smart and Funny! Dec 07, 2008
Books for kids can be so boring!
In fact, most books for kids are designed to turn them into good little automatons that just parrot back simple lessons and black and white morality. Yawn.
This book joins the ranks of works by such geniuses as Daniel Pinkwater and Roald Dahl. Authors that present the world as a fun place, full of amazing things and boundless imagination, but tinged with sly humor and layers of wit. Sure, your child may not know every word in this book, never a bad thing, but they'll be laughing at the jokes and clever rhymes anyway.
The art is beautiful as well. It uses different materials and textures to create a world as full of boundless energy as the story it tells. The character designs are wonderful and expressive, but simple enough that your kids will be drawing the two Yetis, Edgar and Fast Freddy, into every masterpiece they create.
Not that every parent will enjoy this - the humorless and lazy need not apply.
