_______________ ‘Russell's bright-eyed cast, including sheep with coloured rinses, is full of character and her text is deftly delivered - it's a gift to read aloud' - Scottish Sunday Herald _______________ CELEBRATING 20 YEARS OF THE SCRUFFY, UNTIDY BUT VERY LOVEABLE HAMISH! _______________ Hamish is a Highland cow and VERY hairy. He hates having baths and NEVER cuts his hair. Why should he when his shaggy coat is the perfect place to keep his favourite sweet - toffees! But one day his friends get fed up with the increasingly smelly Hamish, and they hatch a plan that involves a hairdresser and, yes, toffees! An exuberant story with bold, bright illustrations from a very talented artist.

Hamish is larger than life--and just a little bit clumsy and a tiny bit messy. Hamish is clumsy just once too often and his animal friends banish him from their house. But it is cold and snowy outside and soon the animals start to feel guilty. So they come up with a perfect plan to make Hamish feel very welcome indeed. This is a charming picture book with a reassuring message about friends overcoming problems together.
