Lars is awkward. Be yourself. The end.



You read it in 1 minute or less. A bit anticlimatic.

Cute story:) loved the illustrations

Lars struck me as an introvert, the way some of the story went (I could be wrong, just a feeling).

This would be a good read for young readers.

Very short description of Lars (the Blue yeti), who he is and a glimpse to his personality.

Thank you. won it at first-reads
I really enjoyed this book and it's message: be who you are that makes you, you. I think that children and people will like this picture book to share. It was sweet.

How I found this book: Reddit (/r/childrensbooks)


The book itself is a little awkward and it takes some time to digest, but the illustrations, and overarching message are what makes it a fantastic picture book. I look forward to reading more of the author's work.

I am all for any book that teaches children to be proud of who they are and celebrate their uniquenes. This book is adorable and can teach the child in all of us good lessons. FIVE STARS.

I love how it showed how Lars may appear to be different and may do things that other people find odd but at the end of the day that's what makes him and that's okay too.

It's always nice to read something and go "I'm not alone. I'm not the only weirdo out there."
The Awkward Yeti and Sarah's Scribbles have made me feel this more than anything I've ever read.

Ohhhhhh boy... Lars needs a life coach. Stay fabulous, awkward yeti.

[Rachel · Rating 3 out of 5]

2 stars.
Alright so this is prob too low a rating but I ended up finishing it and going, 'What?'. I had assumed it was going to be more like the authors other book, "Heart and Brain: Body Language: An Awkward Yeti Collection" but I was wrong. Instead I had read this in about 60 seconds. Start to finish. Even that might have been too long, I could have finished it in even 45 seconds. Anyway, doesnt matter too much.

Looking at this as pre-schooler level book it is a good one and id give it 3 stars for that. The message it sends about 'awkwardness', what it is and that its perfectly acceptable to be like Mr Yeti, is a positive one for little kids to know and understand. I believe that this book, along with the excellent colouring of the images, sends that message. So id actualky prob bump it up an extra half star for that giving it 3.5 stars.

So adding those two together and this book is 3 stars in total.

I love Lars

He represents the awkward in a funny way without making fun of them. It's a cute character that represents awkwardness.

[Afifah Luqman · Rating 5 out of 5]

[Amanda Locke · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is absolutely adorable and I will read anything Nick Seluk releases ever.

My review is short because this book was short.

[Matthew HOnaker · Rating 1 out of 5]

Waste of time

Anything else would be better do ot buy this book, his other books are worth the read. The heart and brain are a good choice.

[Melissa · Rating 1 out of 5]

In my kindle unlimited binge, I admittedly didn't read the description carefully. But that aside, this is still a children's book that I can't really endorse for its lack of substance or tact. Definitely wouldn't pay for it either.
