Embark on a joyous adventure with the beloved Hairy Maclary and his endearing gang in Hairy Maclary and Friends Meet the Gang! by Lynley Dodd. This delightful tabbed board book invites young readers to explore the enchanting world of Hairy Maclary and his canine companions as they traipse through the town.

With its sturdy design and easy-to-turn tabs, this book is built to withstand the energetic handling of toddlers and preschoolers.

The interactive elements make it an engaging experience, encouraging young readers to immerse themselves in the story and characters.

As Hairy Maclary from Donaldson's Dairy embarks on his walk, he encounters a host of familiar friends, each with their own unique characteristics. Meet Hercules Morse, as big as a horse, Bottomley Potts, covered in spots, and Muffin McLay, like a bundle of hay. Watch the fascinated expressions on children's faces as they meet the toughest Tom in town, Scarface Claw, and other cherished characters from Lynley Dodd's best-loved series.

This curated board book is more than just a reading experience; it's a beloved ritual that can be enjoyed at bedtime or throughout the day. The illustrated tabs, adorned with images of each character, make it easy for children to find their favourite pages again and again.

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.'
