'Fair fa yer honest sonsie face
Great chieftain o the pudding race'

Marking the 20th anniversary of Itchy Coo, this beautifully illustrated collection of Scotland's best loved poetry is back in the form of the extremely popular lift-the-flap book, to inspire even the youngest budding poet in a simple, entertaining and colourful way.

Kids will delight in the hidden surprises within the pages, lifting the flaps to reveal where the moose is hiding and what the haggis has on its head, while singing along with parents and teachers to favourite Scottish tunes such as 'Red Red Rose' with Rabbie travelling alongside them through the story, ending up in a marvellous Burns Supper rendition of 'Auld Lang Syne'.

In this special Itchy Coo 20th Anniversary edition, young readers can enjoy the rhyme and song of the country's most famous poet and have fun reciting well known verses whilst lifting the flaps to find surprises on their way to a very special Burns supper.
