Publisher Notes

Boo-hoo-hoo!

Baby hasn't a thing to eat. Mama and Papa don't know what to do.

POOF!

A witch appears. She knows what to do, but she's not telling. Not until Mama and Papa promise her her heart's desire! When the blubbering parents agree, the witch sends Papa on a quest for the only thing in the world that will save Baby -- yak juice.

Tony Johnston is at her rambunctious best as she goes trekking and tracking with Tim Raglin on this downright gleeful read-a-loud adventure to GO TRACK A YAK!

Media Reviews

"Johnston's rhythmically bumptious rhyme is given outrageous cartoon caricature treatment by Raglin, who uses pen and colored ink to render the irreverent images for this literally wild-eyed visual takeoff on traditional tales."

Synopses

A couple of bumbling parents with a hungry baby seek help from a tricky little witch, but it is a sweet black-eyed yak who really helps them to live happily ever after.
