Super sweet book with beautiful watercolor illustrations. I love this story because the message is so relatable to young kids and the riddles are fun to solve alongside Katie as well. It is a fun one to read to American children as there are many British words sprinkled throughout. Not my favourite.

Katie Morag is the title character of a series of children's picture books written and illustrated by Mairi Hedderwick. The gentle stories have been praised for their good humour, strong sense of place, and the feisty and independent sometimes even " thrawn " [1] character of Katie herself. The books are set on the fictional Isle of Struayoff the west coast of Scotland. Katie Morag lives close to the jetty above the island's only shop, where her mother is the postmistress and her father runs the Katie Morag and the Riddles store. Much of the topography, and also characters and situations, are inspired by Arinagour on the Scottish island of Coll in the Inner Hebridesthe island where Mairi Hedderwick lived for a number of years, [2] [3] [4] [5] and where her daughter still runs a handmade pottery store. A key character in the books is Katie Morag's "Grannie Island", who lives further round the bay, and is generally found in her dungarees Katie Morag and the Riddles driving or fixing her tractor, or surrounded by cats around her Rayburn Katie Morag and the Riddles, in contrast to Katie Morag's altogether more douce "Granma Mainland". Grannie Island was widely hailed, as for example "a positive image, a celebration of the strength of women, and a challenge to gender stereotyping" [7] — a happy accident, as Hedderwick had originally planned Katie Morag and the Riddles the character to be male, until her North American publisher demurred; [8] but not inappropriate, as Hedderwick was as likely as not herself to be found behind the wheel of her old tractor at the time. In England a short National Curriculum Key Stage 1 Geography unit for six- and seven-year-olds, called "An island home", has been linked to the series and in particular the book Katie Morag and the Two Grandmothers. Various proposals were made for a television adaptation of the stories. The books were optioned in by the Scottish filmmaker Don Coutts. In proposals for an animated series, initially of 26 eleven-minute films, [14] were developed by him in association with Red Kite Animation in Edinburgh, [15] with a pilot script by Peter Hynes. Later, inCoutts was reported to be developing a live-action series to be filmed on the . Speaking inMairi Hedderwick said she would be quite happy if the character only remained in books — she had no interest in "pencil cases", and would only want to see her creation dramatised, if at all, as a real character not a cartoon; but it was in the hands of her publishers. In November it was announced that the BBC's CBeebies channel had commissioned a series of 26 minute Katie Morag and the Riddles dramas, to be made by Coutts' Cromarty -based production company Move on Up. The TV adaptation began in the autumn ofwith the first two stories being broadcast on CBeebies on 3 November A stage adaption was created by Lisa Grindall for Mull Theatre inbased on characters and setting from the books, with a new story and songs. After a successful tour of smaller venues in and the Highlands followed by a week at the Citizens Theatre in Glasgow in Katie Morag and the Riddles, [26] [27] [28] [29] the production was revived as a Christmas show at the Byre Theatre in St Andrews in[30] [31] [32] [33] [34] and toured again in In the s Mairi Hedderwick turned Katie Morag and the Riddles a proposal from Argyll and Bute Local Enterprise Company to use the character to promote tourism in the area.
