Praise

A charming and colorful picture book about the amazing birds and animals of the Scottish Highlands, featuring a positive message about doing what you love.

Ollie the osprey loves to swoop into the water and catch fish. But once he's caught them, he's no good at throwing them! And if he can't throw a delicious fish to Isla, she'll never become his friend.

Rory the otter says he can help Ollie practise his throwing. Can Ollie learn to throw as well as he can catch?

This brilliant story by interactive storyteller Emily Dodd is full of fun sounds and illustrations of a host of loveable creatures in the picturesque Scottish Highlands.
