REVIEWS OF ITCHY COO BOOKS
| Precious
and the Puggies By Alexander McCall Smith Translated by James Robertson  | First of all I thought the illustrations were fantastic and the front cover was so bright and full of African colours. I loved the wee puggy up in the tree At first I thought it was going to be difficult to read the book in Scots, but then I realised that I knew most of the words already. We all say words like muckle, wee, braw and crabbit everyday in our house. If I got stuck on a word, I could quickly look it up at the back of the book. I loved the story of Precious and the Puggies. My favourite part of the story was the description of Muckle Maw Molipi and No Sae Muckle Maw Molipi because it really made me laugh and the pictures made it even funnier I felt sorry for Poloko. Behaving like that would be called bullying in our school. I think Precious sounds very clever and loves listening to stories - just like me! I loved reading this book but loved to hear it being read most of all. The words sounded just like my Grandma talking. I think all boys and girls around my age would love reading this book.
