"""Fraser elevates the familiar story line with a well-paced rhyming text that invites reading aloud. . . . Hindley 's digitally colored pen-and-ink illustrations . . . are populated with endearing yaks, whose boldly patterned hats and scarves match the story 's cozy feel.""—The Horn Book"

★ ""The jolly, fast-paced, rhyming verse propels readers through diminutive Gertie’s harrowing, wind-swept rescue mission and matches the upbeat mood of her quest for 'bigness.'. . . Whimsical scenes of hairy, wide-eyed, comical yaks of assorted shapes and sizes sporting amusing cold-weather headgear will trigger chuckles and reinforce the message of individuality. A real little winner.""—Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review ""Fraser elevates the familiar story line with a well-paced rhyming text that invites reading aloud. . . .
