"Original, engaging, and fun" —Midwest Book Review

Join Yeti and his new friend Marcel, a local Parisian pigeon, on a hilarious whirlwind tour of Paris as they search for "the best spot to nap," while visiting the city’s most iconic landmarks along the way.

Yeti, fresh off a long journey from snowy Mount Everest, can’t wait to explore the vibrant streets of Paris—but all he really wants is a nap! Luckily, Marcel is there to guide him through the city. Together, they visit famous spots like the Arc de Triomphe, the Eiffel Tower, and even a boat ride on the Seine. Will Yeti find the perfect spot to nap in Paris? Or will he fall in love with a Paris too beautiful to nap?

This charming picture book will entertain young readers with its playful storytelling, endearing characters, and humorous illustrations, while also offering a fun, Yeti-and-Marcel-approved guide to Paris’s top sights!
