My Granny Went to Scotland and she brought back . . .
Author: Mike Nicholson
Illustrator: Patrick Corrigan
Granny is back from a trip to Scotland and she's brought lots of gifts for her family! But as the presents get bigger and the living room gets busier, everyone wonders... what on earth will Granny bring next?
This funny, energetic picture book is inspired by the popular memory game - with a Scottish twist. With brilliantly bizarre gifts - including a daft wee dog, a bellowing bagpiper and even the Loch Ness Monster! - children from Scotland and beyond will love the surprises on every page. Mike Nicholson's text sparkles and Patrick Corrigan's illustrations are full of colour, character and humour.

HAIRY MACLARY & ZACHARY QUACK
Author: Lynley Dodd
Hairy Maclary is looking for some peace and quiet for his afternoon doze. But everywhere he goes he's followed by an irrepressible yellow duckling, Zachary Quack, who wants to footle and frolic and play. Hairy Maclary keeps trying to skedaddle away only to be followed by the pittery pattery duck!
Hairy Maclary has been the best wee dug ever since he first went out of the gate and off for a walk, and the addition of a cute fluffy duckling makes this hilarious rhyming story our favourite of his adventures.
