Editorial Reviews

11/01/2017
K-Gr 2—Zoey the chicken and her best pig Sam are eager for an exciting adventure. There's a fresh layer of snow on the ground so they decide to go on an arctic expedition. The young team prepare for the brisk temperature by donning their mittens (on their heads) before setting off toward the North Pole. The duo endure an athletic workout as they wiggle under fences and ascend mountain like hills in search of yetis. Sam isn't too keen to attempt these feats of strength but Zoey is a good friend and encourages him to continue. Finally, the gutsy pair meet what they think is a real yeti. They soon discover it's only the scarecrow from the farm. But the friends believe it made it to the North Pole just as they did! This is a fun book that is perfect for budding readers. The main characters are young and have vivid imaginations. Children will find some of their antics humorous. The pair go sledding down the hill with Sam as the vehicle and their happy dance will amuse young ones. The colorful illustrations are not elaborate but they offer humor and aid readers with comprehension of the text. The sentences are short and easy to decipher. VERDICT Some of the vocabulary might challenge emerging readers, but this is a fun and welcome addition to most library or classroom collections.—Barbara Spiri, Southborough Library, MA
