Customer Reviews

Absolutely, positively superb!

We've loved ALL of the Katie Morag stories, and (more importantly) so have our children. They are smart and socially aware and beautifully written and illustrated.

A pure Scottish children's series

I love the Katie Morag series of children's books. Little ginger haired Katie Morag is split between the traditional ways of Granny Island and the modern Granny Mainland. Granny Island works with her hands and isn't afraid to get dirty. Granny Mainland wears nice clothes and bothers about her appearance. Katie Morag loves them both, but they don't appreciate each other.How to solve this? Why, with sheep of course. How perfectly Scottish.

A warm-fuzzy intergenerational story

Hedderwick is a master story teller with wonderful illustrations which delight children & adults. Katie Morag's home is so comfortably chaotic and the parents and grandmothers are characters. In this tale, there is an increased understanding between the "fancy-ways" Grannie mainland and her strong, competent counterpoint, Grannie Island. And the Scottish is wonderful!
