Itchy Coo is a series of eight children’s books by James Robertson published between 2006 and 2013, all written in Scots. The series takes its name from the Itchy Coo imprint that Robertson co-founded to publish children’s books in the Scots language. The books include A Wee Moose in the Hoose, the Katie series (Katie’s Ferm, Katie’s Coo, Katie’s Moose, Katie’s Year, and Katie’s Pairty), and A Wee Book o Fairy Tales in Scots.

The Katie books are the most prominent part of the series, following a young Scottish girl through life on a farm. The books are illustrated and use Scots vocabulary naturally throughout, giving young readers positive exposure to the language in a picture-book format.

The series has been used in Scottish schools as a resource for introducing Scots language to children, and the Katie books in particular have become well-known within Scottish children’s publishing. Reading order within the Katie sub-series follows publication dates.
