Hush That Hullabaloo!

Hush That Hullabaloo! is a rollicking, rhyming, read-aloud set in Scotland, full of Scottish words that will delight readers as they repeat the catchy phrases and imitate a Scottish brogue. Grandpa Goose is grouchy as the lads and lassies make a mess in his “hoose” and lots of noise–a hullabaloo! Grandma soothes him with the refrain, “Wheesht, wheesht, / It’s only the wee ones. / Wheesht, wheesht, / Only the wee ones.” Can you figure out what the hullabaloo is all about before Grandpa Goose does? The story includes a list of Scottish words, pronunciations, and meanings.
