'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.

MEDIA REVIEWS

'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, you’ll find it really captures that Scottish flair, and it was impossible to choose a favourite scene.'-- The Bear and the Fox

“Great fun!”

We loved this fast-paced rhyming adventure. A great introduction to the Highland Games for visitors to Scotland and a lovely reminder for those who have experienced the action. Wee Rascal is a favourite in our house.
