Reviews of Wee Granny’s Magic Bag and the Ceilidh

'Maw Broon meets Mary Poppins in this cheerful story for young readers… Bogade's cartoon-like illustratons in ink and watercolour are reminiscent of the Scottish Comics tradition of the Beano and the Dandy.'
-School Library Association

'Whatever the need or emergency, Granny can meet it. It's all in the bag … What she can pull out of the bag defies reason, and that's the source of the fun.'
– The School Librarian

'This is a pleasant title for youngsters just starting to understand the concept of preposterous things.'
– School Library Journal

'Bogade's homey, cartoonlike illustrations offer plenty of expressive detail and gently comic moments… A simple, affectionate story that will undoubtedly meet with demands for repeat readings – Scottish brogue required.'
– Booklist Online

'If you have, or can put on, a Scottish accent, this book will be terrific for you to read aloud with great gusto…This is a very funny story about two children and their amazing granny who you will be as fond of as they are by the end.'
– EYE: Early Years Educator

'McKay writes with a cheerful tone… The pacing is nicely done, dancing along happily. The story has a gentleness to it as well that is warm and friendly. Bogade's illustrations are done in ink and watercolor. They have a merriness to them as well, filled with bright colors and playing up the effect of pulling huge items from a small bag. The humor of the entire work is well reflected in the images.'

'My daughter thinks this story is hilarious and even though she knows what is in Wee Granny's bag she laughs out loud every time we read it… Maria Bogade's beautiful illustrations bring the characters to life and the last item to come out of the bag was impossible to guess on the first reading!'
