PreS-Gr 2— In this lovable follow-up to The Littlest Yak, Gertie the yak is excited to become a big sister. When her mom goes away to prepare for the baby, Gertie's grandma comes to stay. Gertie is ready to share her pine cones and favorite books but less certain about sharing her mother. Is there room enough in her mother's heart for two yaks? A drawing of a heart and reassurance from her mother lets Gertie see the truth, right before she meets the newest member of the family. The font is on the small side for emerging readers, but they will immediately discern that a parent always has room for a growing family. VERDICT A good story to have on hand for families expecting a new addition.— Annmarie Braithwaite

Gertie is going to be a big sister! But is there room in Mummy's heart for the little yak—and an even littler new arrival?

Gertie the littlest yak is getting ready to welcome a new arrival to the family, and that means big sister planning and big sister sharing. She can’t wait to share all her favorite things — like her curly-wool comb for important back-scratching, or her pinecones for playing yak throwing and catching — because the newest yakling will have so much to learn!

But how does Gertie feel about sharing Mummy? Is there enough room in Mummy's heart to love both Gertie AND the new arrival?

This adorably warm and reassuring story from the award-winning creators of The Littlest Yak shows readers that there will always be room for families, and hearts, to grow.
