The Great Highland Games Chase by Kate Abernethy
A cheeky Scottie dog steals a hat and sets off on an increasingly chaotic chase through a busy Highland Games in this delightfully funny rhyming tale, bursting with character and charm. Will anybody catch the wee rascal?'An absolute triumph of a picture book with many an engaging element to have little readers demanding multiple reads.. Illustrator Laura Darling has illustrated all the shenanigans with incredible energy, and brought the wonderful Highland Games to life.'
-- My Book Corner
'Overall, we really enjoyed this book, between the rhyming story, the counting fun, and the lovely illustrations with lots of details to study. Whether or not you've been to a Highland Games before, youll find it really captures that Scottish flair, and it was impossible to choose a favourite scene.'
-- The Bear and the Fox
