In the tenth Siri book, Siri wants to go skiing with the three Ottos.
But the boys are sledging, and Siri has to come up with a way to persuade them to go with her. Siri says she thinks there’s a yeti in the forest, and takes a short cut to make yeti footprints in the snow. She gets lost in the forest, and when Little Otto comes looking for her, she thinks she’s encountered a real yeti.
The characters found in the Siiri books are among the most loved in Finnish children’s literature. Siiri is an energetic little girl, and Little Otto, Middle Otto, and Big Otto are her best friends. The Siiri books, created by author Tiina Nopola (b. 1955) and illustrator Mervi Lindman (b. 1971), bring the everyday moments that mean so much to pre-school children to life.
