Schnitzel Von Krumm Forget-me-not
Schnitzel von Krumm Forget-me-not by Lynley Dodd is a delightful tale that will captivate readers of all ages. This charming story is part of the beloved Hairy Maclary and Friends series, renowned for its endearing characters and rhyming verses. In this instalment, Schnitzel von Krumm, with his distinctive short legs and long body, once again finds himself in a mischievous predicament.
As Schnitzel's family hurriedly packs for their much-anticipated holiday, our little sausage dog creates chaos by getting underfoot, snooping and meddling at every turn. The house is a whirlwind of activity, and everyone is eager to get on the road. In their rush, however, they make a dreadful mistake – they leave without Schnitzel!
With the car packed and the family driving far out of town, the realisation dawns on them: they've left poor Schnitzel behind. Back at home, Schnitzel is heartbroken and howling, left to wonder if anyone will come to his rescue. Will his family return for him, or will someone else step in to save the day?
Dodd's clever rhymes and lively illustrations make Schnitzel von Krumm Forget-me-not a joyous read. The whimsical narrative not only entertains but also subtly imparts lessons about patience, the consequences of rushing, and the unbreakable bond between pets and their families.
Praise for the Hairy Maclary and Friends series is widespread, with The Times calling it "a child's best introduction to books." This beloved series offers a perfect blend of humour and heartfelt moments, making it a favourite for storytime.

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.'
