REVIEWED BY MARLEY, 9, PALMYRA PRIMARY SCHOOL, WA
The publisher provided a review copy of this book.
Bigfoot vs Yeti is about a Yeti and a Bigfoot and how there was a great big mist and rift between their two colonies. The two colonies always hated each other because they didn’t know anything about each other and were trying to protect themselves from what they didn’t understand, and because they couldn’t see them. One night a bigfoot and a yeti were on the edge of the rift on watch duty and they both had the exact same thought at the exact same time, that they wanted to be face to face and put an end to the rift. Back at home, their colonies were in a fight because they thought the other colony were responsible for each other’s lost bigfoot and yeti. While they were fighting, the bigfoot and the yeti were talking to each other and getting to know each other …
Bigfoot vs Yeti is a picture book, but it’s not like other picture books I’ve read. It’s black and white at the beginning and towards the end a little more colour starts to show. I enjoyed this book because it’s different and at the end you get to see the interesting ending (which I won’t give away). I really liked all the illustrations and they pulled the whole book together.
I think kids of all ages would enjoy it.
I think more than bigfoot and yeti, this book also means to not be afraid to show who you are, and that not everything you don’t know or understand is harmful.
Take a peek inside Bigfoot vs Yeti.
