When Migo Met Smallfoot by Tina Gallo - OPTIONAL

 When Migo Met Smallfoot (Ready to Read Level Two) by Tina Gallo, illustrated by Art Baltazar. EARLY READER. Simon Spotlight (Simon & Schuster), 2018. $18. 9781534431737

BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - OPTIONAL

AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH

Migo is a yeti who loves where he lives and respects his elders that tell him the mythical smallfoot does not exist. One day Migo sees a helicopter crash and gets a glimpse of a smallfoot, setting his determination to prove that they do exist. He finds proof and brings his new small foot friend back to his village. 

This is a book that will have a short lived appeal while the movie Small Foot is coming out and popular. The illustration on the cover is more appealing than, and not consistent with, the illustrations inside the book. The story has a swift plot which is always helpful for engaging new readers.
