Bedtime for Yeti

When you’re little, your best friend is your whole world. And for Yeti, his stuffed animal Chunk is his constant companion. But, at bedtime, Chunk goes missing! And it’s up to Yeti to brave the dark and rescue his bestest best pal. Can Yeti do it? What lurks in the dark? Will Yeti have to face bedtime alone?

Bedtime for Yeti is absolutely adorable, a lesson about bravery, friendship, and overcoming your fears, all wrapped up in a few pages. It reminds adults and children alike that anyone can be a hero because heroes feel fear just like everyone else. And to see Yeti motivated by love and friendship to save his cuddly pal…it’s delightful.

The simple cartoony style echoes childhood memories of big-eyed creatures that enthralled me when I was younger, but with the edges softened, the character sweetened. Yeti is a monster you can bring home to dinner, far more charming than you’d expect, given his abominable moniker.

Bedtime for Yeti packs a lot into a few pages, and yet it remains a joy to read and reread.
