Description

Hairy Maclary's Hat Tricks by Lynley Dodd takes readers on another delightful adventure with the lovable scruffy dog, Hairy Maclary. In this charming tale, Hairy Maclary is eager to play fetch, but he can't find anyone to join in the fun. As the wind picks up, threatening to spoil an important event, our determined and playful canine hero sees an opportunity to combine his favourite game with saving the day.

The eighth adventure in the beloved series sees Hairy Maclary on a desperate, daredevil dash inspired by the whimsical twists and turns of a windy day. With the wind playing a central role, it’s a blusterous, gusterous, dusterous day that sets the scene for Hairy Maclary to embark on his exciting escapade. Despite everyone's protests that they are too busy, Hairy Maclary's determination never wavers, leading him to a surprising and heartwarming resolution.

The rhythmic and rhyming text, woven beautifully by Lynley Dodd, encourages young readers to join Hairy Maclary on his speedy mission. The story is filled with playful language and vivid illustrations that bring the windy adventure to life, capturing the attention and imagination of children and adults alike.

Discover what sends Hairy Maclary racing across the park and what important item he manages to retrieve in a flurry of black fur. This delightful story promises a fun-filled reading experience, and like all the books in the Hairy Maclary series, it celebrates the spirit of adventure and friendship.

Join Hairy Maclary and his friends in this playful, wind-swept tale that combines excitement, charm, and the timeless appeal of lovable animal characters.

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.'
