Anyway, young Aggie simply can't resist the cute baby yetis, so she decides to stay in their valley and teach them to be proper and civilized. The yetis learn English, and also "their sums and their alphabet and how to sing hymns." Agatha also explains that one must always apologize and the yetis go a bit far, apologizing to the grass they walk on and the fruit that they eat. This becomes rather irritating, as you can imagine. Thankfully, Agatha comes up with a solution: teach them how to say grace and thank God for their meal! Developing ensemble casts satisfactorily was never Ibbotson's strong point, in my opinion, but this weakness is particularly notable in The Abominables. Probably several characters would have been cut or merged if she'd had the opportunity to edit the manuscript more thoroughly, giving necessary space to the characters with more interesting arcs.

If you have been looking for a perfect chapter book for a relatively new reader, this would be a wonderful choice. The illustrations are great, but the story stole my heart.

Get started CloseI loved the way this story included glimpses of history, various places across Europe and taught children values at the same time. Honestly, I finished the book before the kids and I read it together, just so I could see what happened next. This is a quirky take on the Bigfoot/AbominableSnowpeople/Yeti/Sasquatch stories, with a very British sensibility.

Oh my goodness, this book is amazing! Lady Agatha is only a girl when she is snatched from her tent, camping in the mountain with her loving father. A Yeti has taken her, and his children and relatives need Agatha's help. They are all in danger of being hunt and killed by horrible and pesky men. This book is so well written, and I love this book. Please read it, you'll love it! This early novel, never submitted for publication, contains all the trademark qualities that made Eva's subsequent books so successful; comedy, loveable and eccentric characters, perfectly-crafted plotting, and inspiring themes of tolerance, kindness to animals, and the defeat of cruelty. Do not translate text that appears unreliable or low-quality. If possible, verify the text with references provided in the foreign-language article.

Some of the books, particularly Journey to the River Sea, also reflect Ibbotson's love of nature. Ibbotson wrote this book in honor of her husband (who had died just before she wrote it), a former naturalist. The book had been in her head for years before she actually wrote it. Who do you consider a role model in the movie? What character strengths do they display? How are teamwork and courage important in the story?

Archived from the original on October 14, 2019 . Retrieved October 14, 2019. This animated adventure is sweet and entertaining enough to keep viewers amused, and it shares a bit about Chinese culture and underlines the importance of family, friendship, and teamwork. Everest's story is reminiscent of several other films about kids/people who find, protect, and commune with an unusual animal/creature/alien, but the twist of setting the film in Shanghai provides a window into the universe of three Chinese kids. They live in a high-rise apartment building, can ride a motorbike, and know how to get around on their own -- just as you'd expect from teens in the most populated city in the world. Everest the yeti might be a mythical creature, but the teen characters don't just seem authentic --- they're all voiced by Asian actors or actors of Asian descent. (One bonus piece of trivia: Trainor, the voice of Jin, is the grandson of legendary climber Tenzing Norgay, who -- along with Sir Edmund Hillary -- was the first to summit Mt. Everest.) It was good. I found it surprising that their rescue plot actually worked because in real life I don’t think they’d get the queen’s attention.” - 7 yo review.
