Discover the vibrant world of colours with Hairy Maclary and Friends: Colours in Maori and English by Lynley Dodd. This delightful bilingual board book invites young readers to explore the colourful adventures of the mischievous Hairy Maclary and his rambunctious gang of friends. Through engaging illustrations and simple, clear text, children will be introduced to a variety of colours in both Maori and English, making it a wonderful resource for bilingual language development and cultural enrichment.

Hairy Maclary and Friends: Colours in Maori and English features the lovable characters from Lynley Dodd's beloved series, including the ever-curious Hairy Maclary, the fearsome Scarface Claw, and many other familiar faces. Each page is a vibrant celebration of colour, helping young learners to identify and name colours in two languages with the aid of beautifully drawn scenes and the charming antics of Hairy Maclary's crew.

This special little volume is perfectly tailored for young learners, especially those aged 3 months to 3 years. The robust board book format is ideal for tiny hands and ensures durability through countless readings and explorations. The delightful illustrations by Lynley Dodd not only captivate young eyes but also serve as an excellent tool for parents and caregivers to incorporate te reo Maori into everyday moments, fostering an early appreciation for bilingual communication and cultural diversity.

Perfect for early childhood education, this boisterous yet educational book is an excellent addition to any young child's library. With Hairy Maclary and Friends: Colours in Maori and English, learning colours becomes a joyful and engaging experience, paving the way for a lifelong love of reading and discovery in both languages.

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) published around 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."
