Caoilte Caillte sa Mhúsaem
Leabhar pictiúr do dhaoine óga 5-9 bliain
Caoilte is always curious and sometimes gets himself in trouble for the things he does. When his class goes on a school trip to the Natural History Museum, Caoilte’s curiosity gets the better of him again, and he lands himself in trouble. He meets some strange creatures who frighten him at first, but they turn out to be quite friendly and help him find his way.
This is a fun and quirky book for children. It’s full of imagination and wonderful drawings suitable for children for 6-9 years. The drawings exhibit an almost childlike innocence which children will love to discover and explore. It’s written in simple Irish which is suitable for children who are fluent or are learning Irish.
