'Fair fa yer honest sonsie face Great chieftain o the pudding race' Marking the 20th anniversary of Itchy Coo, this beautifully illustrated collection of Scotland's best loved poetry is back in the form of the extremely popular lift-the-flap book, to inspire even the youngest budding poet in a simple, entertaining and colourful way. Kids will delight in the hidden surprises within the pages, lifting the flaps to reveal where the moose is hiding and what the haggis has on its head, while singing along with parents and teachers to favourite Scottish tunes such as 'Red Red Rose' with Rabbie travelling alongside them through the story, ending up in a marvellous Burns Supper rendition of 'Auld Lang Syne'.

Katie's Pairty is the seventh in the bestselling Katie series of board books from Itchy Coo and Black & White Publishing. In this new book Katie invites all her best friends round for a pairty. Lots of her usual friends are there and a few new ones. And, of course it wouldn't be a Katie book if her wee moose wasn't hiding somewhere on every page! Each KATIE book is unique, and in this one the story is told in short, easy sentences containing simple Scots words. Katie is as cheery and inquisitive as ever, and there are lots of things to look at and point to in Karen Sutherland's wonderful illustrations. Katie's Pairty should prove just as popular as its predecessors.

Join in the fun of learning with this vibrant introduction to the twenty-six letters of the alphabet that includes a menagerie of marvellous creatures and a collection of Scots sayings that are sure to inspire little bairns and big kids alike! Susan Rennie's endlessly entertaining scenarios featuring brave and fascinating animal friends are brought to life by Karen Sutherland's striking illustrations. Adults will delight in finding new phrases in Scots whilst kids will revel in sharing their new knowledge with others and returning to the colourful stories again and again.

New from Itchy Coo! KATIE'S A tae Z is the eighth in the KATIE series, following the bestselling success of KATIE'S COO, KATIE'S MOOSE, KATIE'S FERM, KATIE'S BEASTIES, KATIE'S YEAR, KATIE'S ZOO and KATIE'S PAIRTY. This new book is aimed at very young children and is the simplest and easiest introduction to Scots words with Karen Sutherland's cheerful and engaging pictures to go with them. On each of the thirteen spreads KATIE introduces two things or animals: one word and one image for each. For example, A is AIPPLE, D is DUG, M is MOOSE, P is PUDDOCK. KATIE'S A tae Z should prove a brilliant introduction to all the other KATIE books.

"Katie's Year" is the fifth in the best-selling "Katie" series of board books. In this new book, Katie makes her way through the months of the year, experiencing the changing seasons and some of the key events of the calendar - from wind and snow to rain and sunshine, from spring days with new lambs and bright flowers to summer days on the beach and in the garden. Winter celebrations include Halloween, Bonfire Night and of course Christmas. Simple Scots words in rhyming couplets guide the reader through the months of the year, and Katie is as cheery and inquisitive as ever. Her Granda and some of her animal pals from previous books also make an appearance, and there are some new friends too. With lots of things to look at and point to in Karen Sutherland's bright and cheery illustrations, "Katie's Year" should prove just as popular as its predecessors.

Katie's Coo is a collection of eight of Scotland's best loved rhymes and songs. Little ones can sing or chant along with their parents, aunties, uncles, sisters, brothers and grandparents to 'Wee Willie Winky', 'Ally Bally Bee' and more, whilst enjoying the bright colours and friendly farm animals along the way. Illustrated by award winning artist Karen Sutherland and developed alongside the Scottish Book Trust and Craigmillar Books for Babies, it's a fantastic introduction to Scots language, humour and rhythm.
