HOW TO FIND A YETIBy Matt Hunt (£7.99, Nosy Crow)

A funny hide-and-seek adventure story featuring a boy, a dog and (maybe) a yeti.

A little boy is sure a yeti lives in the forest behind his house. He hasn't found it yet but one day he is sure he will. The boy decides to hit the trails to search out the mythical creature. He’s determined to find it and with his dog, Milo, he searches everywhere. But will they find it?

I FOLLOW THE FOXby Rob Biddulph (£7.99, HarperCollins)

Little Fox has gone missing. A family search high and low, but the teddy can’t be found. Then, one night, a beautiful fox calls at the window, and the young boy follows her.
