The Abominables by Eva Ibbotson
4.0
Sasquatches are so cool.
This is a quirky take on the Bigfoot/AbominableSnowpeople/Yeti/Sasquatch stories, with a very British sensibility.
In this case, the Abominables are adorable and guileless and sweet and totally harmless when you get to know them. But human hunters are cruel and terrible and just want to hurt them! So, it's up to a small band of humans to rescue the sweet creatures.
Read it in less than a day (on vacation) and took it out to local elementary schools for the SRP. Bigfoots are always a great hook, and the kids loved noticing the backwards feet on this cover.
A great little hooky literary title. Not what I'd call essential, but definitely serviceable. Plus, there's a great road trip.
