The Abominable Snow Dancer -- Steph Lau, Hardcover

Dive into an uproarious world of unicorns, mythical creatures, and magical moves in this story where a yeti with two left feet takes center stage in his quest to become a dancer.

Everyone knows that yetis aren't meant to be dancers...but that doesn't stop Otto from dreaming of taking center stage. After keeping his favorite hobby a secret, Otto accidentally stumbles into a dance rehearsal featuring unicorns and one tough teacher. Will this yeti be able to impress these dancers with his passionate flair? Or will he learn that yetis truly aren't meant to leap, spin, or tap? With each clumsy twirl and not-so-elegant stomp, young readers will giggle their way through this heartwarming tale of perseverance, self-discovery, and the joy of dancing to your own beat.
