About the Author

Lynley Dodd is one of New Zealand's best known and best loved authors of children's books. In a career spanning four decades she has produced more than thirty original picture books (creating both the story and the illustrations), which have been published all over the world in multiple languages. In a recent review for The Sapling, New Zealand librarian and reviewer of children's books Simie Simpson wrote, "Fostering a love of language since 1983, Hairy Maclary is almost compulsory reading for babies and toddlers. Reading the lovely Zachary Quack Minimonster and Wake Up, Bear, I was reminded at how delightful and clever Lynley Dodd's books are. They are full of joy and rhythm, relatable and perfectly pitched for their intended audience."
