Betty and the Yeti

Product Information

By using the Web site, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by the Terms and Conditions. An excellent book with rhyming text that tracks the adventure of Betty on a walk through the snow with her little red sled. It is Anti-Bullying Week, and I think children are never too young to understand that we must not judge people on appearance or misconceptions.

This is a true bedtime favourite in our house, with rhyming text, lovely illustrations, some humour and of course a appy ending, it has everything my two year old loves in a book. Inspired by artists and storytellers like Edward Lear, Eric Carle and David Mckee, I produced many poems, stories and pictures, which I would turn into books. I wanted to give as a gift but it was a little torn up so we ended up keeping it and now have two copies which we read all the time. A funny and surprising story about a little girl who comes face to face with the legendary scary, hairy yeti—who's not quite what he seems!

No missing or damaged pages, no creases or tears, no underlining or highlighting of text, and no writing in the margins.

Betty's out for a walk in the snow when she finds a jingly jangly hat, a scarf, and a giant coat that comes down to her knees.The 103 third parties who use cookies on this service do so for their purposes of displaying and measuring personalized ads, generating audience insights, and developing and improving products.

The yeti might look scary but is in fact shy and wants to make friends but people keep running away.

I now come up with most of my ideas for stories when out walking in the countryside, and, if I'm lucky, I have a pencil and paper with me at the time- I quite often find myself repeating certain words or rhymes over and over in my head until I get home!

Ella Burfoot is the author and illustrator of several children's books, including BETTY AND THE YETI and DARKNESS SLIPPED IN, which was nominated for the Kate Greenaway medal in 2009. My daughter and I love to read this book because of the trail of clothing left behind by the (when discovered) naked yeti whom everyone is scared of but who isn't scary at all. Ella Burfoot is a talented author/illustrator who has written and illustrated three previous picture books, including DARKNESS SLIPPED IN (978 0 330 51257 2), which was shortlisted for the 2008 British Book Design and Production Awards and nominated for the 2009 CILIP Kate Greenaway Medal.
