A funny and relatable conversation between a little boy and a fussy yak about what to eat by debut author Alex English in just over 100 words. One day a yak comes to visit Alfies home. Alfie attempts to be a good host and offers the Yak something to eat, but eveything Alfie suggests is met with a loud `Yuck! from the yak! He offers him many tasty treats that children would love to eat, but the yak refuses them all. Gradually Alfie gets more and more annoyed and calls the Yak rude. The sheepish Yak then explains that Yaks like grass and offers Alfie to join him in a bite of the lawn. Alfie turns to the Yak and proclaims: `YUCK!
