Hairy Maclary's Caterwaul Caper
"They sniffed and they snuffled, they bustled around, and they saw WHAT was making the terrible sound."
Scarface Claw, the biggest cat in the neighbourhood, is out exploring when he gets stuck up a tree. His yowling is terrible - so terrible that it draws Hairy Maclary and all his friends from Donaldson's Dairy to investigate.
The loveable and adventurous dog, Hairy Maclary, is back in another charming tale by the renowned author Lynley Dodd. In Hairy Maclary's Caterwaul Caper, Hairy and his friends embark on a mission when they hear a dreadful yowling emanating from somewhere in the neighbourhood. This uproarious commotion leads them to discover Scarface Claw, the fearsome feline known as the biggest cat around, who has found himself in quite a predicament.
As they sniff and snuffle, bustling around in curiosity and concern, Hairy Maclary and his delightful canine companions from Donaldson's Dairy are determined to uncover the source of the terrible sound.
