"My granny went to Scotland and she brought back? Sugary shortbread Ticklish tartan And... A hairy Highland cow?!" Granny is back from a trip to Scotland and she's brought lots of gifts for her family! But as the presents get bigger and the living room gets busier, everyone wonders... what on earth will Granny bring next? This funny, energetic picture book is inspired by the popular memory game -- with a Scottish twist. With brilliantly bizarre gifts -- including a daft wee dog, a bellowing bagpiper and even the Loch Ness Monster! -- children from Scotland and beyond will love the surprises on every page. Mike Nicholson's text sparkles and Patrick Corrigan's illustrations are full of colour, character and humour.
