Hettie, the ever-hungry Highland cow, munches through Scotland's delights, from thistles to shortbread. But when Callum and Kirsty bring a giant cake, Hettie's appetite hits a snag. Will she learn when enough is enough?

From the publisher

A sweet and funny story featuring one of Scotland’s most famous animals; the Highland cow Hettie the Highland cow is always hungry. She eats grass, thistles, hedges and even Granny Macleod’s washing! When Callum and Kirsty visit her, they give her treats to eat – porridge, sandwiches, shortbread and ice cream! When the children arrive with a huge cake, Hettie starts to look worried. She’s not feeling so hungry any more… Watch Hettie grow as she eats her way through many Scottish favorites, until she and the children finally learn their lesson. This sweet, funny story is brought to life by Jo Allan’s vivacious illustrations.
