Description

In Scarface Claw, Hold Tight by Lynley Dodd, readers are treated to another delightful romp in the beloved Hairy Maclary and Friends series. The story begins with a tranquil morning, Scarface Claw basking in the sun, his tail curled around and his feet neatly tucked in. This serene scene is abruptly interrupted by the rumble of an engine and a sudden jolt, sending Scarface on an unexpected adventure.

The unsuspecting cat finds himself clinging desperately to the roof of a truck as it speeds away, driven by his oblivious owner, Tom. As Scarface grips on for dear life, the truck zips through town, past streets and neighbourhoods. Tom remains completely unaware of his roof-top passenger, despite the frantic efforts of pedestrians trying to alert him.

Inspired by true stories of cats inadvertently going for rides atop cars, this exhilarating tale captures the tension and excitement of Scarface's predicament. Readers will be at the edge of their seats, eagerly turning pages to see who will come to the rescue of the fearless feline.

Lynley Dodd's masterful rhymes and captivating illustrations bring this adventurous escapade to life, making it a joy for both children and adults to read together.

Recognised for its charm and creativity, Scarface Claw, Hold Tight was proudly listed among the NZ Listener 50 Best Books for Kids in 2017.

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.'
