When a little boy can't keep up with the other kids, his new friend
Yeti reveals a trick that makes all the difference. Some days it
seems like everybody is bigger, stronger, and faster than you, and
that has one little boy feeling blue. Fortunately, a surprising
someone steps in to help--a big, hairy Yeti--along with some very
impressive relatives: Bigfoot, Sasquatch, and the Abominable Snow
Monster! But it is Yeti who claims to be the most powerful one in
his family, all because of . . . the POWER OF YETI! This is the
power that comes with knowing you can succeed, but it will take
time and effort. And thanks to Yeti’s words of encouragement, the
boy starts looking at things in a new light. He doesn't know how to
tie his shoelaces . . . YETi! And he's not great at making soccer
goals . . . YETi! He might not be the biggest, strongest, or
fastest kid on the playground, but it turns out he's still pretty
powerful and full of potential--all because of the power of YETi.
This clever celebration of words and their meanings features a
strong cowgirl who wrangles words alongside cattle. Lexie is the
best wrangler west of the Mississippi-word wrangler, that is. She
watches over baby letters while they grow into words and ties
shorter words together into longer ones; she herds words into
sentences, hitches sentences together, and pens them all in to tell
a story. But lately, something seems off at the ranch. First the d
goes missing from her bandana, leaving her with a banana to tie
around her neck, and soon afterward every S-T-A-R in the sky turns
into R-A-T-S. There's no doubt about it-there's a word rustler
causing this ruckus, and Lexie plans to track him down . . . even
if it means riding her horse through the sticky icing of a desert
that's suddenly become a giant dessert. This fantastic spin on
"cowboy" stories populates Lexie's ranch with lively letters and
words, alongside the typical cattle and horses, and stars a smart,
confident, charismatic heroine. Rebecca Van Slyke's creative, silly
wordplay pairs perfectly with Jessie Hartland's lively
illustrations, and there's even a glossary of helpful terms for
up-and-coming word wranglers.
