Description

'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.

Author Biography:

Kate Abernethy is a Scottish children's author. She has an MA in English Literature but spent a number of years working as an accountant before following her dream of writing for children. Kate loves the challenge of making every word count and, when not wrestling words into shape, you may find her strolling through the woodlands or tinkering at a spreadsheet. The Great Highland Games Chase is Kate's debut picture book. She lives in the New Forest, Hampshire, with her family. Laura Darling is a Scottish children's illustrator and writer. She has an MA in Illustration from Edinburgh College of Art. Laura has worked with organisations such as the V&A Dundee and UNESCO City of Design Dundee. Her playful, pencil, paint and ink illustrations have been featured in activity books, appeared as murals and been used as maps. In 2021 she was mentored by Chris Haughton as part of the prestigious Picturehooks programme. The Great Highland Games Chase is Laura's first picture book. She lives in Dundee.
