Fiona the Doctor Reviews

To say that I was totally enamoured by the `What do series is something of an understatement. Mairi McLellan has managed to achieve a level of literary `magic that perhaps only the good Dr Seuss (Theodore Geisel) might have mastered many years earlier than she -- Pocketful of Rye
What makes these books noteworthy are the practical details from the mouths of the real workers, which fascinate rather than bore. Its eye-opening stuff. -- Teach Primary
