Oh, you poor thing, Barb, I'm sure it must be painful. The fact that you are still reading and reviewing shows how strong, and determined you are. Thank you, dear friend for your lovely comments, I really appreciate them. Take care, and don't overdo the finger exercises!! :) Sandra xxx
Comment from Robert Zimmerman
Hello Sandra.
What I like about the Yak is it is a very easy word to spell. In fact, it is probably the easiest. I know that the milk is treasured. I always believed that a yak was an upside down morally mammoth. They are as Harry as the mammoth and if their horns came out of their jaw they would be woolly mammoth.
I like the poem in this post.

What about the BAT? He's easy to spell and pronounce, too, lol. I wonder if they are descended from the mammoth? It's possible. I'll check that out. Thank you for another lovely review, Robert, you've been so supportive and encouraging in your words. One more to do! :)) Sandra xx

You're welcome. I don't like bats. 😁

Another great job, Sandra. What a wonderful choice for the letter 'Y', I honestly would not have thought of the yak. Nice rhyme noted. You provided a great deal of information not just in your poem but in your fun facts. Very well done. Great job Graham, I do so enjoy your drawings. I think Sandra has to go back and have you draw for the ones you missed before it goes to the publisher. Hugs, smiles and blessings.

I've just read your message to Graham, and he smiled and said thank you. He has done them all now, and I'll be putting them in. Just one letter left, and then I must go through it all again before I publish. Thank you, Alie, for all the support you've given me which has always been so encouraging. Warm hugs, my friend. :)) Sandra xx

You are so very welcome Sandra, good luck on the last letter and with the publishing. Hugs, smiles and blessings.

Comment from nancy_e_davis
I wonder how a calf can find the udder to milk underneath all that fur. This is an interesting essay, Sandra. They do look a lot like our American Bison. Our Bison does not have so much fur. Well done dear. Nancy:)

Thank you so much for reading my letter Y, Nancy, Now for the last letter! Then I'll be posting a novel. Researching has been fun, but my word it takes a lot of time. I'm so pleased you have enjoyed them. Warm hugs, my friend. :)) Sandra xx

Sandra--
Didn't know there was so much to know about yaks. Thank you for the research, the fine poem, the drawing and the numerous pictures. This is quite a project you have for yourself. Most worthwhile!

I was surprised, too, Jeff, they are incredible animals and do such a lot of hard work. I'm so pleased you enjoyed reading about the yak, I appreciate your encouraging words and the six stars, a lot. Thank you. :)) Sandra
Comment from Ulla
Aren't they beautiful, Sandra? I've never heard about the yaks, but now I have thanks to you. How interesting that they can live and survive in such barren land. I'm intrigued. Your photos are outstanding. What amazing creatures. I love them. Thanks for teaching me something completely new. A big hug. Ulla xxx

Thank you so much, Ulla, your wonderful review. They are incredible animals, aren't they. They have to be to live in the conditions they do. Thank you also for the six lovely stars, my dear friend! Sending you a warm hug. Sandra xxx

As with all the chapters in this book, it is well written and I did not spot any nits. The story of the Yaks is interesting and I noticed how much they reminded me of the American Bison.

I'm really pleased you enjoyed this one as well, it was fun doing the research. Thank you for your lovely review, my friend, I really appreciate it. Warm hugs. Sandra xx
Comment from Mistydawn
This is well-written, very interesting, educational. It's interesting that the females stay in herds. I imagine they do that so they can help each other look after the kids. Probably stay up high so they can see danger approaching. I wonder what their milk tastes like. Is it closer to goat milk or cow's milk?

Thank you, Misty for another lovely review. I think they like a break from the males! Lol. They are a lot tougher than the males, so that must have something to do with it. The milk is quite sweet with a distinct but lovely taste, so I learnt, I must add that to the notes. Thank you again, my friend. Warm hugs. Sandra xx

Smart women, lol. Wouldn't it be nice if the men had an off switch? Men and children. I love my hubby and kids dearly but there were times when they drove me nuts.
Comment from Marjon van Bruggen
Yaks...aren't they amazing? Used to cultivate the land, their pads for heating, their milk for butter, cheese and drinking, their hides for warming, their strength for carrying weight over the mountains... No wonder they domesticated these great animals already so long ago.
Great chapter, Sandra. One more to go. Let's see what you make of the Z .

They are amazing, aren't they. How they can do all the things they do up there on the freezing cold mountains, beats me. Thank you for your lovely review, Marjon. Yes, one letter to go, and of course, everyone has guessed it right this time!! LOL There wasn't a lot of choice, but they are really interesting. Warm hugs, my friend. :)) Sandra

Welcome, Sandra to the review. I knew it! Jay! Zebra.
Comment from Ben Colder
They remind me of a Muskox a little. good report on these beast. They plow them like others do with water Buffalo. Yes, burning chips was a common thing for our frontier as well.
Great job Sandy;

I'll have to look the Muskox up, Chuck, I've not heard of those. Thank you so much for the lovely review, and all those shiny stars. You're my hero, my friend. Sending you a huge, warm hug and lots of love. Sandy. xxx
