It’s a lovely feeling, when you’re young, to share a secret name or
a private song with your best friend. That’s definitely the
sentiment held by two boon companions in Juliette MacIver’s “Yak
and Gnu” a comical rhyming picture book that celebrates the bonds
of special friendship even as it registers the comeuppance that
friends may feel when their treasured intimacy proves to be less
exceptional than they thought.
—The Wall Street Journal
The perfectly rhymed bits of text get progressively more hilarious,
and kids (maybe the teller, too) will be in stitches by the time
they see the flotilla of gorillas...A boatload of fun.
—Booklist Online
Good for libraries in need of rhyming, tongue-twisting stories or
books featuring animal antics.
—School Library Journal
Audiences will delight in the chipper repetition, comic internal
rhymes, and rueful cumulative tagline...The Seussian silliness of
the verse makes this a sure bet for kids looking for something
gnu.
—Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
Charming.
—Kirkus Reviews
Sweet.
