| Out of the gate and off for a walk
went Hairy Maclary from Donaldson's Dairy. With Schnitzel von Krumm with a very low tum, Bitzer Maloney all skinny and bony, Muffin McLay like a bundle of hay, Bottomly Potts covered in spots, Hercules Morse as big as a horse and Hairy Maclary from Donaldson's Dairy. When suddenly out of the shadows they saw Scarface Claw the toughest Tom in town. "EEEEEOWWWFFTZ!" said Scarface Claw. |
| 'Hairy Maclary' (1983) written and illustrated by Lynley Dodds (NZ). This is a great book which, as you can see, Alannah anticipates with glee.

love, love, love every part of this post...
What little girl could not resist looking at that scary claw.
.There are some more in the series that are just as popular around here,4kids under 6, fave at the moment is Slinky Malinky
I nearly bought a SM on eBay but it got too pricey for moi.
I love Hairy Maclary.
Love the expressions on both of you.
I love this series of books...the fun, alliteration, the Down Under element (albeit NZ) and the general exuberance. There is also a DVD of the stories which is fabulously done and sounds pretty much like how you read them. My grandkids love books and DVD.
It is a fabulous book. I used to read it to the kids at school. The picks of you an Allanah are so engaging.
Brilliant! All of it!
