  Wee Gillis

  By Munro Leaf, Robert Lawson (Illustrator)

  The Highland relatives want Wee Gillis to stalk stags with them. The Lowland relatives want him to tend the cows. After years of doing both, Wee Gillis has powerful lungs from calling the cows, and he has learned to sit very still from stalking stags— just the skills needed to play a bagpipe! Line drawings sparkle with humorous spirit.
