The Katie Morag Stories
Mairi Hedderwick
The charm of the Katie Morag picture books lies as much in Mairi Hedderwick's delicate and detailed watercolours of life on the Island of Struay as in the stories around Katie Morag, delightful though she is. Much is lost, therefore, in the audio version. What remains are the engaging stories of how badly Katie Morag copes when there is a new baby in the family (Katie Morag and the Tiresome Ted); the naughty tricks of the visiting cousins (Katie Morag and the Big Boy Cousins); how the community responds when their communication with the outside world is changed (Katie Morag and the New Pier) and the best story about Katie Morag's wonderfully different grannies (Katie Morag and the Weddings).
