Zachary Quack - The pittery pattery yellow duckling who's always up for an adventure.

Schnitzel von Krumm - The adorable dachshund with a very low tum, always ready to join in the fun.

Each book in this vibrant collection is beautifully illustrated with Lynley Dodd's trademark, whimsical artwork. The bright and colourful illustrations complement the playful text, engaging children in the delightful world of Hairy Maclary and his friends.

About the Author

Lynley Dodd graduated from the Elam School of Art in Auckland with a diploma in Fine Arts, majoring in sculpture. She went on to teach art before taking a break to start a family. She began to work as a freelance illustrator and collaborated with author Eve Sutton on My Cat Likes To Hide in Boxes. There was no looking back as Lynley went on to write and illustrate her own books for children. Exuberant artwork and bouncy rhymes come together perfectly in books like Slinky Malinki and Hairy Maclary from Donaldson's Dairy. As well as being a visual delight, these are some of the most rewarding books for children and adults to read out loud. It comes as no surprise that, as a child, she adored Dr Seuss because of his 'crazy sounds and the fact that he took such liberties with the English language.' Other favourite authors included A A Milne and the fairy tales of The Grimm Brothers and Hans Christian Andersen. Today, Lynley is a big fan of Quentin Blake 'because of his humour and very clever art work.'
