What happens when your inner yeti comes out to play?
Matthew is a young boy with BIG, BIG feelings—so big it sometimes feels like there’s a YETI just bursting to get out! And when Mathew’s yeti comes to play, he’s bound to stay all day. That silly yeti comes out of Matthew’s feet, his nose, his hair, his burp, and even his BUTT!
Bound to make any child roar with laughter, There’s a Yeti in My Tummy teaches kids that strong feelings are okay, and so are their inner yetis. Along with Matthew, kids learn to channel those feelings in constructive, positive, and loving ways. And parents will pick up a few tips on language to help children understand when and how to rely on their inner yeti.
An imaginative and fun story told in delightful rhyme by Meredith Rusu and crazy-fun illustrations by Martín Morón, There’s a Yeti in My Tummy is a big, bold, instant classic.
There’s a Yeti in My Tummy is the first book in The Mighty Moods series from 4U2B Books & Media, where we strive to create resources that enable children to become joyful, compassionate, and brave, and that empower parents and adults to instill those qualities in children.

I received a copy of this book through Netgalley. This is my honest review.
This was a silly story about a boy who uses a yeti as an excuse for his behavior. When he farts, burps, kicks things, whatever he is doing that is not exactly typical socialized behavior, his yeti is at fault. And while the imagination involved in the excuse is cute, I'm not exactly fond of accepting these ridiculous excuses from kids and teaching them that they are okay.
While I think the story could give kids the wrong idea about making excuses, the story does teach kids to deal with big feelings and that sometimes big feelings just happen. And it was a really fun silly story, so I'd probably be okay reading it a few times. The illustrations were very colorful and fun as well.
Overall I give There's a Yeti in my Tummy 3.6937 out of 5 stars. - Katie
