Delightful!December 1, 2008 I bought this book for my 6 year old daughter and we are throughly enjoying reading the stories together. It's a lovely book all about Katie Morag, her friends and her family, and the Island of Struay where they live on the West Coast of Scotland.
An Island Idyll for all AgesDecember 3, 2003 31 out of 31 found this review helpful
Mairi Hedderwick is a firm family favourite a pithy and witty writer who is equally talented as an illustrator. Her Hebridean children's books give an endearing snapshot into the life on a small island community through the eyes of accidental-mischief-maker Katie Morag.
I'm particularly fond of Katie Morag and the Two Grandmothers - the tensions between the two grannies will ring very true in a lot of families (not mine of course, Mum - honest!) and there are some lovely touches which will go over the children's heads and entertain the grown-up reading aloud, which is always good if you have to keep re-reading the books. The illustrations are also rich with incidental detail which help keep the attention of the child.
In a word - lovely.
