Yeti and the Bird is a beautifully illustrated story about an unlikely friendship between a big scary Yeti, and a little bird, and how this saved the Yeti from his life of loneliness. The illustrations are lovely with lots of detail, lots of great scenery shown with woodlands, mountains and sunsets and lots of cute animals too!

Yeti is the biggest, hairiest, SCARIEST beast in the forest and because of that, he is lonely. Everyone avoids him. No one wants to play with him. Thankfully, one day, an unexpected guest pays him a visit. Little red bird got lost on her way to a hot tropical island and she landed on top of Yeti's head. To Yeti's surprise, she is not afraid of him at all! This friendship will change Yeti's life! Imagine that you have seen a yeti. Write a description of it using lots of adjectives, similes and metaphors. Write a report about yetis. Where do they live? What do they eat? Do they have any special adaptations? A home-renovation project is interrupted by a family of wrens, allowing a young girl an up-close glimpse of nature.

This is a beautiful tale of forming unlikely friendships with others from different worlds. The text has strong PSHE links, exploring friendship and how we form new relationships with others. The book also has solid links to geography as different landscapes are explored. Nadia Shireen is a significant, award-winning author and illustrator and children will enjoy exploring her other titles on their own. Links and themes: The yeti is the ‘biggest, hairiest, scariest’ beast. Can you think of any other superlatives? When are they used in writing? Renata’s wren encounter proves magical, one most children could only wish to experience outside of this lovely story.
