Description
Scarface Claw by Lynley Dodd introduces young readers to a bold and daring character – the toughest tomcat in town. This beautifully illustrated children’s book follows the intrepid adventures of Scarface Claw, a rugged feline who rules the streets with an iron paw and a fearsome growl. He's known far and wide for his piercing eyes and rugged demeanour, commanding respect from every creature that crosses his path.
Scarface Claw takes great pride in his tough exterior and takes every opportunity to show off his grit and ferocity. However, amidst all his bravado, this tale holds a light-hearted twist that reveals Scarface's vulnerability, is endearing and surprising for anyone who encounters him.
Lynley Dodd’s engaging storytelling, paired with her lively illustrations, makes this book a delightful read for children and parents alike. With captivating rhymes and charming rhythm, Scarface Claw successfully combines humour and heart, making it a perfect addition to any child’s bookshelf.
Will the mighty tomcat face his fears and show his softer side, or will his reputation as the toughest tom in town remain unchallenged? Discover the amusing revelation that even the bravest among us have their own little anxieties.
Scarface Claw is not just a tale of toughness but also one of courage and self-discovery, beautifully wrapped in Dodd’s signature wit and warmth. Ideal for reading aloud, this story invites children into an enchanting world where even the fiercest creatures have tender moments.
Ideal for ages 3-7, this picture book combines delightful prose with vivid illustrations, creating a memorable experience that children will want to revisit again and again. Whether you are introducing your child to the wonders of reading or adding to an already cherished collection, Scarface Claw is a must-have treasure that will entertain and inspire.

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.'
