A sweet and funny story featuring one of Scotland's most famous animals; the Highland cow

Hettie the Highland cow is always hungry. She eats grass, thistles, hedges and even Granny Macleod's washing When Callum and Kirsty visit her, they give her treats to eat -- porridge, sandwiches, shortbread and ice cream

When the children arrive with a huge cake, Hettie starts to look worried. She's not feeling so hungry any more...

Watch Hettie grow as she eats her way through many Scottish favorites, until she and the children finally learn their lesson. This sweet, funny story is brought to life by Jo Allan's vivacious illustrations.
