Editorial Reviews

Praise for The Yeti Files #1: Meet the Bigfeet:"Fans of the 'Bad Kitty' and 'Captain Underpants' titles will certainly love the first in this series of illustrated chapter books." — School Library Journal"Illustrator Sherry's first volume in the Yeti Files is a fast and funny graphic-prose tale full of labeled pictures and comic-style panels." — Kirkus Reviews"[Sherry's] characters...have all the googly-eyed charm that makes his picture books so much fun." — Publishers Weekly"This fast-paced and funny tale is told in comics-style panels and labeled black-and-white illustrations of goofy monsters and cartoonish villains. Good stuff for readers beginning to move into chapter books." — Booklist"Charming characters, hilarious illustrations, and a big bunch of fun!" — Dav Pilkey, creator of Captain Underpants"These books are wonderfully absurd. My kids and I read The Yeti Files and laughed our way from cover to cover!" — Jarrett J. Krosoczka, author of the Lunch Lady series

From the Publisher

04/01/2016
Gr 1–3—Yeti Blizz Richards transports his crew to the lost city of Atlantis where a kraken is causing trouble. All is not well in the depths of the ocean where the Mayor of Atlantis will stop at nothing to mine power crystals for his city. The plot speeds along haphazardly with big doses of humor, especially in the plentiful cartoon illustrations. Hand this series to kids who dig the wacky, cartoony humor of Dav Pilkey's "Captain Underpants" series.
