The Grouse and the Mouse: A Scottish Highland Story
Emily Dodd
Kirsteen Harris-Jones
Bagpipe the Black Grouse loves admiring himself — his glorious red eyebrows and his magnificent straight tail feather — and he feels sorry for little brown Squeaker the wood mouse, with his bendy tail. But when things go wrong for Bagpipe, brown and bendy — and Squeaker’s help — might just be what he needs to get out of some serious fox trouble. Starring two of Scotland’s best-loved residents, an endangered black grouse and a wood mouse, this is a funny and heart-warming tale about valuing difference from the author of Can’t-Dance-Cameron.
