Hairy Maclary and Friends: Little Learning Library

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

For generations, Lynley Dodd's Hairy Maclary stories have introduced young children to the joy of reading. With this Little Learning Library, the mischievous dog and his friends instigate a lifetime love of learning with the ABC, 123, Colours and Opposites!

Little ones love to learn with rascally Hairy Maclary and his rollicking gang! Introducing important first concepts, including the alphabet, counting to 10, colours, and opposites, this delightful tiny board book collection in a slipcase makes a perfect first library for the youngest fans of Hairy Maclary and his friends.

Each little learning book is populated with Lynley Dodd's much-loved characters getting up to their usual antics, and features large, simple text. The sturdy board pages are the ideal size for little hands to hold and are durable enough to withstand the rough and tumble of toddlers. Pulling the books out and returning them to their slipcase provides a fine-motor challenge, and the four books also make a 4-piece puzzle that combines into a gorgeous illustration.

In this Hairy Maclary and Friends slipcase you will find the following books: ABC, 123, COLOURS, and OPPOSITES. It's never too soon to have fun and learn with Hairy Maclary and all his 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.'
