Reader Reviews:
An appetite-whetting delight for children about to visit the Festival City! (0/0 people found this helpful)
My review of "Hamish McHaggis: And the Search for the Loch Ness Monster" applies, to a large extent, to this gem of a book too. Our four intrepid chums set out on Hamish's dodgy "Whirry-Bang" to the capital city to see the festival. Alas, the little vehicle breaks down and they are forced to hitch a life on a car-transporter.
Once in Edinburgh, the adventurous baseball cap-wearing pine marten, Angus, disappears into the tourists and performers and, something like the Woody Allen character Zelig, is spotted here, there and everywhere, at one point performing in a juggling act! The Tattoo is not neglected, the book closing with a wonderful image of the closing ceremony beneath a sky full of fireworks, the crowd expressing its delight in a multitude of languages.
This terrific little book certainly made me want to go - thank goodness I live in Edinburgh! I can't wait to read it to my nephews.
