Join the playful adventures of Hairy Maclary from Donaldson's Dairy in Where is Hairy Maclary? A Lift-the-Flap Book by Lynley Dodd! This engaging picture book invites young readers into a delightful game of hide-and-seek with the mischievous Hairy Maclary and his lovable friends. As children turn each page, they are prompted to lift the sturdy cardboard flaps to uncover Hairy Maclary's hiding spots, filled with clever clues and enchanting illustrations.

The fun begins with Hairy Maclary disappearing from view, prompting the question, "Where is Hairy Maclary?" Is he hiding in the strawberry patch, having a scratch? No, under the flap, that's Bitzer Maloney. Is he perhaps enjoying a bath by the side of the path? Again, lifting the flap reveals not Hairy Maclary, but Muffin McLay. The suspense builds as little fingers eagerly lift each flap, looking for their favourite canine until finally discovering where Hairy Maclary has been hiding all along.

This delightful, interactive board book is crafted with young children in mind. The robust, durable flaps and the charmingly repetitive text help develop motor skills and early reading abilities in babies and toddlers. They will love spotting familiar characters and catching glimpses of Hairy Maclary’s gang, hidden behind different objects throughout the book.

Lynley Dodd’s bestselling series is beloved for its rhythmic, rhyming text and whimsical illustrations, and Where is Hairy Maclary? A Lift-the-Flap Book is no exception. It perfectly captures the spirit of fun and playful exploration that has made Hairy Maclary a classic in children's literature. This book is an excellent addition to any young reader’s collection, offering endless entertainment and learning opportunities.

Discover the joy of reading with Lynley Dodd’s delightful creation and don't forget to explore all the adventures in the Hairy Maclary and Friends series. Each book promises a new and exciting escapade with Hairy Maclary and his rollicking crew of animal 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.'
