Two good friends like to go rowing on the river together, Yak in his kayak, Gnu in a canoe. They own the river! Then they meet: Goat in a boat, Calf on a raft, followed by Snail setting sail and – well, the flotilla just grows. By the time a cruise ship full of yaks and gnus arrives, our Yak and Gnu have changed their tune. The rhythms of the text give a lively account of the growing river crowd. The cartoon-style of outlined watercolours with breezy colouring, complements the humour and early readers will be amused by the quirky detail of the drawings.
