Peg &
The Yeti
Written by Kenneth Oppel, illustrated
by Barbara Reid
Peg was born on the bright blue
sea. But she's had enough of sloshing around at the
bottom of the world. She wants to get to the top.
She set's off to climb the
world's tallest mountain, because she's heard the view
is quite something. She has no gear but her trusty fishing
rod, but Peg likes to travel light, and she is determined
to reach Mount Everest single-handed. Her quest, however,
will be anything but easy; she will have to overcome
freezing cold, wind storms, avalanches - and worst of
all, the monster who rules over Everest: the Yeti!
"As
a read-aloud story, the text works splendidly; as an inspiration
for art projects, the pictures are a great resource; and
as a delightful picture book, Peg and the Yeti is a fine
addition to any children's collection." - Quill & Quire (starred review) |
