Katie Morag Fox Tales — Mairi Hedderwick

Ideal for building reading confidence, and here are three new stories about Katie Morag specially written and illustrated for an older audience. In Saturday Sweets, Katie Morag and Liam can't decide which sweets to give Granny Island as a present -- but they do decide that the best way to make up their minds is to taste all the sweets themselves. In The Pony and the Hamster, Katie Morag is thrilled when Granny Island gets a pony called Eriska, but Katie and her friend Agnes soon find out that looking after a pet is a big responsibility. And in The Camping Holiday, Katie Morag and the Big Boy Cousins find themselves stranded by the tide -- but luckily Eriska is on hand to save the day. Children who have enjoyed the numerous Katie Morag picture books when they were younger will be delighted to see that Struay's endearing heroine is back in these island adventures for older readers.
