Meet Yak. He loves to talk. A LOT.

Yak the Yak LOVES to chat, but his family really don’t talk back. This was unfortunate for Yak as he lived high up in the Himalayan mountains, where there was no other company apart from the other yaks, and all they liked to do was chew grass and talk about the same old boring weather. Yak decided he’d had enough. “That’s it” he said, “I’m outta here”. With his stick in hand and his yak pack packed, Yak excitedly set off down the mountain in search of interesting chat.

After several days of trekking, Yak stumbled across Jimberry Farm. “This is it!” exclaimed Yak, “I finally get to have some new and interesting conversations”.

The first group he came across were a family of dozing ducks floating in the pond.

“Hello ducks” bellowed Yak, “I’m Yak The Yak, I love to chat. Tell me ducks, if you were invisible for a day, what would you do? “You’re quackers” said the flock of frightened ducks as they flapped out of the pond and flew far into the horizon.

An undeterred Yak then spied some cows chomping grass in the nearby field, Yak raced up to them and cried “hello Cows, I’m Yak The Yak, I love to chat. Tell me cows, who’s your best friend and why”? “Mooooove along” said the cows as they stared blankly at Yak, “We have udder things to do” as they carried on chewing their lunch.

A slightly disheartened yak had only stumbled a short distance across Jimberry Farm when he saw some sheep. “Hello sheep” he hollered. I’m “Yak the Yak, and I love to chat. Tell me sheep, if you could be famous, what would it be for”? “You are baaaaaaaalmy” bleated the startled sheep as they scattered across meadow.

Once Yak explained what he was doing to the farmer, being lonely himself, he invited Yak in for a cup of tea and to chat about their life experiences. They quickly became good friends, and realized they should live together!

The farmer set Yak up with a room inside the warm house and gave him a smart speaker so he could share their stories with the world. Now, Yak always has plenty of animals AND people to talk to, anytime he wants!

“This isn’t going as I planned,” he sighed. A deflated yak was just about to give up when Farmer Jimberry came across the field and saw the saddened figure. “You’re a long way from home," said the friendly farmer. “What brings you to these parts?”

“I’m Yak The Yak, and I love to chat,” he said. “I’ve traveled a long way to find some interesting conversation, but nobody wants to talk back.” “There’s a much easier way to talk to people,” said the farmer as he invited Yak in for a glass of homemade Jimberry Juice and some yak snacks. “And it's totally fun and friendly.”

It was there that the farmer connected Yak to all of his friends around the world via Jimberry farm’s shiny new smart speaker. Yak was overjoyed, and spent the rest of the day excitedly asking lots of questions to his brand new friends around the world.

Now, if you want to become friends and have a yak with Yak, then all you need to do is say to Alexa, “Yak, talk back!”

    Lewis Family

    As a parent this day and age, it’s hard to get everyone to put down their screens and have a normal conversation at dinner. Yak Talk Back not only makes everybody engage with each other, but it’s actually teaching us things about one another that we may not have known otherwise. Yak is the only one I’ll allow to talk back at dinner. See what I did there?! We love Yak!

    This is one of the best ways I have found that after a long day I can get together with my kids and have them express their feelings. It is fun family time together that gets us all talking. I absolutely love that there are new questions and content available daily, there is also seasonal content and topical questions. The music is all original and so much fun with the character voices.

    My kids find Yak hilarious and really enjoy the conversations it creates for us as a family. From my point of view, it helps me to find out more about their day without having to ask them the dreaded ‘So how was your day’ question! It has also armed my son with a great set of jokes which he is taking huge pleasure in passing onto his friends.
