Wee Animal ABC by James Robertson
Following the immense success of Animal ABC, this is a new compact gift book format of the bigger book. The award-winning Animal ABC takes young readers on a journey of discovery of Scots words from A right through to Z. It is a funny and fascinating introduction to the alphabet in Scots with a whole menagerie of friendly and exotic creatures. Susan Rennie's carefully chosen phrases introduce the reader both to Scots words and to the animals and are beautifully complemented by Karen Sutherland's striking illustrations. Winner of the TES Scotland and Saltire Society 2002 Prize for Educational Publications, this is a book for learning and pleasure that will be returned to again and again by bairns and adults alike.
