Anna Duff spent her youth growing up in the Scottish Highlands watching and wondering at the unique wildlife that called these areas home, from Red Squirrels to Pine Martens and Hares.
From the occasional glimpses on gentle walks through the trees to far off sights on mountain hikes, Anna has always imagined about the lives of these elusive animals.
As a bit of light relief from her university studies, Anna finally decided to put pen to paper so to speak and tell the tales of Scotland’s wildlife: their lives, their friends and their adventures.
This is a lovely story to share with the children in your life. Who doesn't like a tale that includes a dragon and especially a cute baby dragon? We have enjoyed the Scottish setting and the occasional nods to the dialect -'Aye'. Loved the history tale within the story and our favourite phrase was 'tied their bones to this land' The illustrations are very colourful, with cute characters and some lovely additions including a kilt, another nod to Scotland, and a pipe. All in all a happy tale with relatable characters.
This is a well written book that should appeal to its audience. I would recommend it both for reading at home and for primary school teachers.
The Baby Dragon is a delightful story with lovely accompanying illustrations . Its charming characters and their adventures will endear themselves to many children.I thoroughly recommend this book to young readers who will love following the animals adventures .
