Reviews of Scots Poems for Children: An Anthology
'The whole collection is earthy and solid, full of birdies, animals, insects, food, getting up, guddling about and going to bed again. It is an ideal book to whet the appetite and tune the ear for future forays into Scots' – Scottish Book Collector 'A delight … children will have a hard time prising this book out of the hands of adults' – Inverness Courier
