PS
After human baby Leo is swept out to sea, he's raised by sea lions that he grows to love. Upon being discovered on shore by another child, Leo is reunited with his birth parents; unfortunately, he misses his sea family. The problem is resolved to everyone's satisfaction--including the reader's. Vogel packs an impressive amount of tenderness into flagrantly cartoonish digital art.

PS
In this worthy successor to The Thing About Yetis, readers learn another thing about yetis: "(sometimes) they're afraid of the dark." Hence it's a calamity when a yeti's stuffed yeti (read: security object) goes missing. The book's humor comes from casting the ostensibly fearsome yeti as a creature of suburbia: dainty illustrations show it picnicking, selling lemonade, and so forth.

Yetis: they're just like you and me. So suggests this sportive profile of a yeti who loves hot chocolate, gets grouchy when it's cold, and sometimes ("Here's a little secret for you") misses the summer. The comical art shows the yeti cavorting with human children who appreciate its unique spin on play (forget making a snowperson: the yeti becomes one).
