Join the mischievous and lovable dog, Hairy Maclary, in another delightful adventure in Hairy Maclary's Rumpus At The Vet by Lynley Dodd. This time, Hairy Maclary finds himself at the vet's clinic where chaos quickly ensues. What begins as a routine visit turns into a whirlwind of excitement when a grumpy parrot decides to take a nip at Hairy's tail.

As soon as the irritable parrot's beak makes contact, Hairy Maclary dashes off in a frenzy, triggering an uproarious chase that disrupts the entire waiting room. Pets and owners alike join in the mayhem, creating a ruckus that only Hairy Maclary could instigate. Children and adults will laugh out loud as they follow the pandemonium that unfolds within the confines of the vet's office.

Hairy Maclary's Rumpus At The Vet is filled with Lynley Dodd's characteristic rhyming text and vibrant illustrations, which bring the story to life with every turn of the page. The whimsical poetry flows effortlessly, making it a joy to read aloud, and the colourful illustrations capture the spirited nature of Hairy Maclary and his furry companions.

This charming tale is perfect for young readers who adore animals and enjoy humorous, light-hearted stories. It showcases themes of fun and adventure, while also subtly teaching children about the experiences of visiting the vet. Lynley Dodd's engaging storytelling and artistic talent make this book a beloved addition to any child's library.

Get ready for a rollicking good time with Hairy Maclary's Rumpus At The Vet—a story that will have both children and adults entertained from start to finish.

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.'

First time using book hero last week and though I was sceptical , the two business books I needed were only available on book hero so I gave it a try. Before I got home the following day the books were already at my home !! That's super efficient ! I'm proud to be supporting a local business that outperforms the big players ! Well done bookhero !
