Dive into an uproarious world of unicorns, mythical creatures, and magical moves in this story where a yeti with two left feet takes center stage in his quest to become a dancer. Everyone knows that yetis aren't meant to be dancers... but that doesn't stop Otto from dreaming of taking center stage. After keeping his favorite hobby a secret, Otto accidentally stumbles into a dance rehearsal featuring unicorns and one tough teacher. Will this yeti be able to impress these dancers with his passionate flair? Or will he learn that yetis truly aren't meant to leap, spin, or tap? With each clumsy twirl and not-so-elegant stomp, young readers will giggle their way through this heartwarming tale of perseverance, self-discovery, and the joy of dancing to your own beat.

"Holds its own in a crowded field. Kids with secret hobbies of their own will see themselves in the determined Otto and will cheer as he succeeds.

A shaggy, silly story of discovery."

- Kirkus

"An appropriately balletic line that honors both the comedy of the premise and Otto’s heartfelt pursuit—suggesting that finding one’s troupe and having the courage to be authentically oneself is snow joke."

- Publishers Weekly

"The sweet, silly story revels in individuality and determination. Energetic illustrations are packed with slapstick humor and darling detail. An adorable adventure that’s anything but abominable."

- Booklist

"A delightful, comical world where creatures bound across the page with abandon."

- Horn Book
