This book is silly and fun, great for reinforcing counting and rhyme and therefore especially suited to EYFS. It reminded me of Dr Seuss's 'Thidwicke the Big-Hearted Moose'. I would just enjoy the book with children, reading it to them. It could become a regularly-read favourite. Children could also create their own versions of the story or act out the yak's journey, so it would be a brilliant book to have a story sack for.

Fun illustrations and it had a rhyming story in the style of Dr. Seuss. I loved the silliness of the yak and the words and so did my nieces. The story itself was good but a little simple, though it came together nicely with a surprise ending.

A lovely book with counting and rhymes.

I wasn't expecting to enjoy this quite so much, but she seemed absolutely engrossed as she munched on her melon snack. Ideal.

Can't go wrong with a rhyming book about yaks! My love of rhyming yak literature started with this poem by Jack Prelutsky:

Yickity-yackity, yickity-yak,
the yak has scriffily, scraffily back;
some yaks are brown yaks and some yaks are black,
yickity, yackity, yickity-yak.

Sniggildy-snaggildy, sniggildy-snag,
the yak is all covered with shiggildy-shag;
he walks with a ziggildy-zaggildy-zag,
sniggildy-snaggildy, sniggildy-snag.

Yickity-yackity, yickity-yak,
the yak has a scriffily, scraffily back;
some yaks are brown yaks and some yaks are black,
yickity-yackity, yickity-yak.

I couldn't give this book 5 starts though because they lose a lot of mail (four boxes, three sacks and two packets) and never recover it, which is a bit sad.

Very funny book! My girl liked it too :) I loved the absent-minded attitude of the yak and obsessive-compulsive attitude of a rooster :)
