Praise

A funny and heart-warming picture book tale starring two of Scotland's best-loved residents: an endangered black grouse and a cute wood mouse.

Bagpipe the Black Grouse loves admiring his glorious red eyebrows and his magnificent straight tail feathers. He feels sorry for his friend, Squeaker the Wood Mouse, with his boring brown fur and bendy tail. But Squeaker's help might be just what Bagpipe needs when he gets into some serious fox trouble.

This is a charming story for young children about valuing and understanding difference, and learning to work together.
