Reviews
"Everything that makes the perfect read aloud story. The story is full of humour, there's some lovely traditional nods to Scotland and a fun 'reveal' at the end which would delight children (and adults!) of a range of ages ... The illustrations are beautiful, they portray the humorous side of the story well and the detail is astonishingly good" -- Goodreads reviewer
