A classic folk story of trust and courage

Preston McDaniels has illustrated many other children's books, and kids with good reading skills will appreciate John Stewig's retelling of the classic Whuppity Stoorie, paired with McDaniels' fine drawings. A poor goodwife trusts a mysterious witch to cure her ailing sow and finds herself in a struggle for her greatest treasure in this classic folk story of trust and courage.

Promote Scots!

One of the reasons Scots is dying as a language is because of reviews like the one above. While no doubt Scots words will be difficult for young readers who are just learning to read English, they should not be dissuaded from tasting the vocabulary of another culture. I recommend this book both for its use of rich language and its well-documented retelling of a classic Scottish story.
