Bookroo's summary

Hettie the Highland cow's thick hair is more than just cozy—it's a seasonal refuge for animals. As blackbirds nest, caterpillars wriggle, and a squirrel hibernates, Hettie wonders if she's a cow or a hotel. With a mountain hare joining in winter, Hettie faces a hairy dilemma. Will she find a way to reclaim her space, or is it time for a drastic change? Journey through Scotland's seasons in this delightful tale of unexpected guests and one cow's quest for comfort.

From the publisher

The second, brilliantly funny, story about Hettie the loveable highland cow Hettie the Highland cow has lots of hair to keep her warm and cosy. But other animals want to be cosy too… In springtime two blackbirds stop by and build their nest in Hettie’s hair. She’s a cow not a hedge! In summertime some butterflies lay their eggs in Hettie’s fur, which grow into wriggling caterpillars. In Fall a squirrel burrows in to hibernate. And in winter a mountain hare hops aboard too! Poor Hettie. She’s a cow, not a hairy hotel! It might be time for a haircut… The second story about loveable Hettie the Highland cow takes us through the seasons in Scotland. This charming, funny story is brought to life by Jo Allan’s lively illustrations.
