AS SEEN ON MILKSHAKE'S STORY DEN IN MARCH 2025!

A FUR-tastically funny rhyming adventure by Kate Thompson, packed with visual humour and delights from Loretta Schauer.

Have you heard the news?
You've been BAMBOOZLED. . .

YETIS DON'T EXIST!

The news swirled over mountains, skipped through lakes and out to sea. Until who should hear it? Iggy the YETI and all his YETI friends. And they were a little bit surprised. So, the yetis who absolutely DO exist only had one option - to set off on a HUMAN search and help to change their minds!

The yetis trekked down steep slopes and through snowy forests when suddenly they saw gleaming streetlights up ahead. . . but found a strangely EMPTY town! The yetis searched high and low, yet the humans were NOWHERE to be seen. Surely that could only mean one thing. . .

A wonderful, wintry story with a HUGE twist and a brilliantly clever visual narrative that will have all readers laughing out loud! Perfect for fans of The Littlest Yak, The Big Freeze, The Best Bear Tracker and I Did See a Mammoth.

About the Author

Kate Thompson (Author)

After a brief stint as a lawyer, Kate rediscovered her love of children's books, and now spends her days on the south coast of England gleefully immersed in literary adventures of her own making. Kate lives by the sea with her husband, sons, a mischievous white cat and the occasional visiting hedgehog!

Loretta Schauer (Illustrator)
Loretta originally trained as a dancer, then managed a conservation charity on Hampstead Heath for many years - battling brambles by day, and practising her drawing skills by night.
