Praise for Kate McLelland: 'Kate McLelland's choice of unique Scottish animals and colorful illustrations are simple and very visually satisfying.' - Youth Services Book Review on Hello Scottish Animals 'The illustrations have a childlike and playful quality. Patterns are a focal point throughout this book. Readers' eyes will be drawn to the textures, lines, and curves present in different patterns scattered throughout.' - School Library Journal on Isla and Pickle: Best Friends 'Colorful illustrations with plenty of background detail show little Pickle to be the kind of slightly mischievous pony that would make a good pal. Isla, meanwhile, decked out in a cable-knit sweater and plaid boots, is just determined and resourceful enough to deserve him.' - Randall Enos, Booklist on Isla and Pickle: Best Friends.
