Reader Reviews

Jean
I read it to my daughter (10). I enjoyed it. It was easy to understand just from hearing most of the words at some point in everyday life. She found it a bit more difficult and I don't think she could have read it herself. It's a fun story. I did learn a few new words and it's a great idea to publish it in Scots. Nice illustrations too.
