Book Synopsis
Bidh Teadaidh ann Deiseil [Teddy is Ready]
A soft, fluffy, grey cat lives on the Campbells’ farm in Centreville, Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia. Teddy is always ready to help with the chores. He’s starting seeds and pulling weeds, he’s picking beans and chasing leaves. This book is a cute little love poem all about that silly kitty, Teddy! Written and illustrated by Joanne MacDonald. Translated by Joyce MacDonald.
Bidh Teadaidh ann Deiseil
Tha cat clòimheach mìn a’ fuireach air baile nan Caimbeulach ann an Centreville, Eilean Cheap Breatainn, Alba Nuadh. Tha e daonnan deiseil a bhith a’ cuideachadh leis an obair. Cuiridh e sìolan agus tarraingidh e luibhean, buainidh e pònairean agus ruaigidh e duilleagan. ’S e luaidh dhan phiseag amaideach ghràdhach a tha anns an leabhar seo! Air a sgrìobhadh agus air a dhealbhadh le Eòsag Dhòmhnallach. Air eadar-theangachadh le Seoige NicDhòmhnaill.
