Welcome to the Island of Struay, home of one of the best-loved characters in children's books and as seen on TV - Katie Morag McColl!

Katie Morag is mightily put out when her new baby sister is born and grabs all the limelight. She is so cross that she even kicks her trusty old one-eyed teddy bear into the sea in a fit of rage!

But she soon starts to regret what she's done and misses dear old ted dreadfully. What will she do? Surely he is lost for ever . . .
Hedderwick's observations are a delight for children and adults alike
