There Was a Wee Lassie Who Swallowed a Midgie

Rebecca Colby

This is the hilarious twist on a much-loved rhyme that became a best-selling, tongue-twisting Scottish sensation!

Wee Lassie swallows a succession of Scotland's favorite creatures to catch that pesky midgie, including a puffin, a Scottie dog, a seal and even Nessie the Loch Ness Monster. After all that, she can't still be hungry. Can she? Unfold the final page for a big surprise. . .

Bold and colorful artwork by Kate McLelland, illustrator of There's a Hole in my Bagpipes, Wee Hamish, Wee Hamish, brings Rebecca Colby's quirky story to life in this fabulously fun picture book from Scotland.
