The Gruffalo said it wid come tae nae guid If a gruffalo roamed in the deep mirk widd. "How no, how no?" "Because, hae nae doot, The Muckle Mad Moose will find ye oot." But one wild and windy night the Gruffalo's Wean ignores her father's warning and tiptoes out into the snow. After all, the Muckle Mad Moose doesn't really exist. . . does he? When the Scots version of The Gruffalo was published in 2012 it immediately became a Scottish children's bestseller. Now, in the same format and using the same rich Scots vocabulary that has thrilled thousands of readers, the sequel is here. The Gruffalo books are among the most popular children's titles ever published, and James Robertson's Scots translations of them capture their warmth and excitement while adding a special Scottish dimension that weans and grown-ups alike just love. Review: a brilliant book - This book is wonderful. I love reading it in my horrible Scottish accent; I try my best. Kids are sure to love it and I love it for bringing back memories of vacations past. I gave it as a baby gift to my cousins who are expecting. Review: Delightful - I loved being able to read the story to my Grandchildren, first in the English version and then in the true Scottish brogue.

Love it more than the original!
Living in Scotland -- but not being Scottish -- I have to say that I love this book! I love the idea of it being "translated" in a way that embraces some of the colloquial language that is rarely heard here. We had an elderly friend over for dinner and had her read it to our little one -- it was lovely. We've since given it to a little one -- Scots mum & American dad -- for his 4th birthday, and his parents & grandparents & aunt & uncle could not have been more thrilled with it. This book -- in its Scots version -- is more loved, in my opinion, by adults than by the children, primarily for the appreciation of its intent. That said, I do think it's fun for children to listen to -- the language is interesting, and then there's the matter of trying to figure out what certain things might mean. If I could give this 10 stars I would, it is really that fabulous!
