Yeti Blizz and his cryptid cronies are back for more adventure. After finding his sasquatch cousin Brian, in Meet the Bigfeet (2014), Blizz and his friends are kicking back and playing games. However, their cryptid buddy VanessaNessieis feeling lonely, and she's thinking about leaving the loch. Blizz knows that might endanger her. Since Jack Saturday the unicorn isn't answering Blizz's calls, Blizz and friends head to Loch Ness on their bikes, and Nessie demonstrates her lonelinessall the denizens of the loch have companions but her. Elf Alex discovers she's a plesiosaur, and the friends decide to seek the help of Tobin Clover, a leprechaun. Tobin takes them back in time with the magic of the rainbow, but the friends are separated in a hasty escape from a T. Rex. Frank the arctic fox makes a dino friend, Nessie and Blizz meet more plesiosaurs, imp Gunthar and Alex run afoul of a triceratops...and Nessie decides she likes the present better. On their return, Tobin has a great surprise for Nessie, and the cryptids receive a call for help from the merfolk! Sherry's second yeti tale imparts a bit of dino info in its labeled black-and-white illustrations, which mix pages with a sentence or two of text with comic-style panels. The frenetic adventure's as much fun as it is nonsensical. Be warned: read the first adventure before tackling this one, as there are no character introductions and no background info on cryptozoological society. Monster and dino lovers alike will enjoy the foolishness. (Graphic/fantasy hybrid. 5-9) Copyright Kirkus Reviews, used with permission.

A cry for companionship from the lonely Loch Ness monster prompts shaggy yeti Blizz Richards and his diverse crew of cryptids to ferry her back 65 million years to meet other plesiosaurs. Unfortunately, prehistoric predators turn out to be huge and really, really scary. Fortunately, an earlier game of image scrimmage played by creating competitive drawings ended with a nemesis that always wins, and even in real life proves capable of reducing a slavering T. rex to a quivering mass of goo. That would be a picture of (wait for it) a cute, saucer-eyed kitten. Better yet, news that Nessie isn't the last plesiosaur after all leads to a happy hook up. Sherry tells the tale with a jumble of cartoon figures, dino labels, and short bursts of exclamatory dialogue. Both the narrative and the visuals are sketchy, so readers who missed the introductory Meet the Bigfeet (2014) may have trouble discerning what Blizz and some of his buddies actually are until they're identified in context. Still, the mix of legendary monsters, real dinosaurs, and snarky asides should draw readers.--Peters, John Copyright 2015 Booklist

In their second adventure, yeti Blizz and the cryptids trek to Scotland and then travel back to the time of the dinosaurs to help the Loch Ness Monster "find others like her." The design, featuring cartoony black-and-white illustrations, isn't always easy to follow but may draw in reluctant readers. What the story lacks in depth, it makes up for in goofy, slapstick humor.
