Hamish the Highland Cow

‘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.

I like that Highland cows are so stylish. I've met a real one and found out they aren't all brown, I saw a black one and there are white ones too.

I love it! I liked when they gave him a new bag for his toffees.

I like this book. My granny has a dog called Hamish and this is a funny book about hamish getting a haircut!
Duchess Birthday-cake Mouse 26.06.2020
It was very funny. At first Hamish did not want to cut his hair, but he gets a nice surprise!

I liked that he was scared of the hairdressers and then he went and there were lots of sheep there
