Go Track a Yak!

40 pp. | Simon | July, 2003 | Trade ISBN 0-689-83789-5 $$15.95
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Tim Raglin. With help from an ill-tempered, Rumpelstiltskin-esque crone, a doltish mother and father try to get their baby to eat, a quest which entails finding a wild yak to provide them with "yak juice." Farcical caricatures of the Slavic-seeming couple and the crone who can't believe their uselessness--even the baby seems to have more sense--enhance the text's boisterous humor.
Reviewer: Christine M. Heppermann
