Wee MacNessie and the Lion Dance-Bilingual English and Gaelic

Wee MacNessie and the Lion Dance-Bilingual English and Gaelic brings together Scottish and Chinese culture.

Suzie the Salmon arrives to tell Wee MacNessie that a Chinese lion is on its way. Wee MacNessie thinks his friends Dolly the Dragonfly and Fergus the Frog might be in danger as they’re playing in Urquhart Castle so he rushes off to rescue them. But is the Chinese lion dangerous?  Wee MacNessie discovers all is not as it seems as Urquhart Castle, beside Loch Ness,  prepares for a Chinese New Year celebration.

Lots of topics for discussion in this humorous story which is ideal for pre-school, early primary and students of Gaelic.
