Description
Join Hairy Maclary from Donaldson's Dairy and his delightful gang of canine friends in Hairy Maclary and Friends Off For A Walk, a charming colouring book illustrated with love and delight by Lynley Dodd. Offering 64 pages of illustrations, this book invites children to embark on new adventures with Hairy Maclary and a host of familiar, beloved characters.
The story begins with Hairy Maclary, a mischievous and curious scruffy dog who is always on the lookout for fun and mischief. As the pack sets out for their walk, they encounter various escapades that include galloping about, sniffing, snooping, and often, bothering the local cats. But the playful antics of Hairy Maclary, Hercules Morse (as big as a horse), Bottomley Potts (covered in spots), Muffin McLay (like a bundle of hay), Bitzer Maloney (all skinny and bony), and Schnitzel von Krumm (with a very low tum) eventually lead them into unexpected situations where they meet their match.
Hairy Maclary and Friends Off For A Walk is part of one of the world’s best-known and best-loved brands for children, created by acclaimed author Lynley Dodd. This colouring book captures all the delightful humour and charm of the original stories, featuring not only the mischievous pups but also a cast of other memorable characters. These include Scarface Claw, the toughest tomcat in town; Slinky Malinki, the mischievous cat who just can't stay out of trouble; and Zachary Quack, the ever-energetic and endearing duckling.
This colouring book is a wonderful way for children to engage with these timeless tales, encouraging creativity and providing countless hours of entertainment. As they bring the adventures of Hairy Maclary and his friends to life with colours, young readers will be drawn into a world filled with joy, laughter, and gentle lessons.
Be sure to read all the Hairy Maclary and Friends books by Lynley Dodd and allow them to captivate both the young and the young-at-heart with their whimsical rhymes and captivating illustrations.

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.'
