Hairy Maclary Scattercat (Hairy Maclary) 6 reviews
Lynley Dodd
Tricycle Press, 2003
Delightful
This is a delightful book, the language is great and the pictures wonderful. Most of Lynley Dodd's regular characters such as Slinki Malinki and Scarface Claw make an appearance as Hairy Maclary bounces along through the pages in a boisterous mood. I love reading this one to my three year old niece. The words have a real rhythm to them and the story has just enough suspense to keep little ones ...

Scarface Claw (Picture Puffin) 1 review
Puffin Books, 2003
Secrets of the Toughest Tom
I first met Scarface Claw in HAIRY MACLARY FROM DONALDSON'S DAIRY. Since then he has popped up in a number of books by the author. Scarface Claw is the toughest tom in town. No dog or cat can stand up to him. All are afraid of him. At the catshow he was crowned Surliest Cat. But what is his real story? Is he really as tough as everyone thinks? This book gives us the answer.

On The Way to Donaldson's Dairy
This is a wonderful sequel to HAIRY MACLARY FROM DONALDSON'S DAIRY. In the first book we had Hairy going out for a walk and being joined by five other dogs one by one. This book starts with Hairy at the butcher shop where he receives a great big bone. As he sets out to return to Donaldson's Dairy we see five familiar noses poking out from behind a shop. Soon the five dogs are following Hairy ...

Slinky Malinki is AWESOME!!!
I'm 18 and a freshman in college and I was read this book all the time when I was a kid. I still love it. After a discussion about children's books, I remembered how much I'd loved this particular book and came to Amazon to buy a copy.
The SLJ review made me sad. I read all the time as a young child. I was a strong reader before even starting kindergarten and spent at least six days of the ...

Hairy Maclary's Rumpus at the Vet (Hairy Maclary)28 reviews
Lynley Dodd
Tricycle Press, 2003
A family favorite
I love this book. I won this book as a readathon prize 20 years ago when I was seven. I think the target audience for this book is probably more likely to be kids aged 3-6. It was a definite favorite of my little brother's - he learnt the words off by heart before he could read. It is also a favorite of my nieces and nephews, and I have just ordered one for my baby who is due any day now. The ...

One of the best children's books
Linley Dodd is a wonderful children's author and illustrator. This book is her best by far. Her characters are memorable and she doesn't dumb-down language. Children will learn vocabulary from her books-- bonus.
My sons (4 & 2) have enjoyed this book for years now. My 2 year old can't quite pronounce the title, but we know when he says "i-i-nky ma-inky" that he wants us to read it to him-- ...

A Favorite Read-a-loud
I bought this book for my youngest child and it quickly became a favorite for the entire family. Now my grandchildren love it as well, and I have been searching for more copies of it because ours is falling apart with overuse! It is full of wonderfully vivid language and descriptions, and the repetition invites children to "memorize" the poem. This allows them to feel as if they are actually ...

Lynley Dodd
Puffin Books, 1999
Don't Bet On It
Hairy Maclary, the scruffy rambunctious canine from Donaldson's Dairy, is in obedience class. Hairy has caused a rumpus at the vet and a commotion at the cat show so we can hardly expect less at school.
Hairy Maclary escapes his lead to run and frolic. Freedom is contagious and other dogs begin to follow. Soon Hercules Morse, Bottomly Potts, Bitzer Maloney, Muffin Maclay, and Schnitzel von ...

Schnitzel Von Krumm's Basketwork (Picture Puffin)5 reviews
Lynley Dodd
Puffin Books, 1996
a dog and his basket...
Schnitzel Von Krumm, who first appeared as one of Hairy Macleary's companions, got a story of his own in this book. His people took away his too-small, ratty old basket and replaced it with another that was a much "better fit" but did he like it? "No, not a bit!" He sets off to find another nice place to sleep, but nothing is as good as the old basket. In the end his dear old basket is retrieved ...

Now as star of his own book we learn many of the wonderful things that this low-built dog can do. From uncontrolled fetching to rolling in the dirt, from hunting rabbits to running with his friends, but everyone knows that dog can not climb trees. We follow Schnitzel through delightful ...

Librarian review is wrong, it's a great book
My son loves this book and so do all my family members. We have read it over and over since receiving it a year ago. The author is talented and captures the young-reader's attention and imagination. A wonderful book.
