Hairy Hettie by Jo Allan

Hettie the Highland cow has lots of hair to keep her warm and cosy. But other animals want to be cosy too... In springtime two blackbirds stop by and build their nest in Hettie's hair. She's a cow not a hedge! In summertime some butterflies lay their eggs in Hettie's fur, which grow into wriggling caterpillars. In autumn a squirrel burrows in to hibernate. And in winter a mountain hare hops aboard too! Poor Hettie. She's a cow, not a hairy hotel! It might be time for a haircut... The second story about loveable Hettie the Highland cow takes us through the seasons in Scotland. This charming, funny story is brought to life by Jo Allan's lively illustrations.

'Charming and funny, not only is it a story showing the importance of tolerance and friendship but it also provides a lesson in seasons tooThe text is brought to life by Jo Allan's lively illustrations.'
-- Julia Eccleshare, LoveReading4Kids
