'One hat-loving lady,
Two pipers with puff,
Three grandads in pinnies,
They've all had enough!
She sprints to the field -- it's time for a play,
But some cumbersome cabers get in the way.
CRASH! SMASH! BANG!
"Stop, ye WEE RASCAL!" the four strong folk cry.'
Uh-oh! There's a great Highland Games chase afoot when Wee Rascal, a cheeky Scottie dog, runs off with a delicious-looking hat!
Dodging out-of-puff pipers, cake-covered grandads, runaway coos and dizzy Highland dancers, Wee Rascal leads an increasingly hilarious pursuit through a Scottish Highland Games. Can anyone catch the mischievous puppy?
This quirky counting and rhyming picture book is full of chaotic charm. With humorous text from author Kate Abernethy and lively illustrations from illustrator Laura Darling, The Great Highland Games Chase is a fun, memorable read that's perfect for children from Scotland and beyond.
