Rory the Little Red Deer by Lynne Rickards

Rory the Little Red Deer by Lynne Rickards

Rory, a young red deer calf, loves playing with his best pal Ruby, having friendly competitions to discover who is the best: Rory can jump the highest, but Ruby can run the fastest. But when a game of treasure hunt goes wrong, can the little deer use their strengths, and those of their friends, to save the day?

Written in Lynne Rickards' signature rhyme, this is a playful tale of friendship, teamwork and appreciating others' strengths. Jonna Dempsey's characterful illustrations of Scottish animals and landscapes are full of charming details to spot.

From the author of best-selling Skye the Puffling and Rowan the Red Squirrel, Rory the Little Red Deer is a fun and lively celebration of one of Scotland's most famous animals.
