Hairy Maclary, Shoo

Description

Bright new paperback edition of bestselling Hairy Maclary's most chaotic adventure yet! 'Stop this shemozzle, this hullabaloo! Scarper, skedaddle, be off with you - shoo!' When Hairy Maclary decides to snoop inside a parked delivery van, he's in for a madcap adventure. After a rattling, roaring ride, and finding himself far from home, he desperately tries to get back to the Dairy - creating havoc and incurring the wrath of shopkeepers, schoolteachers and passers-by along the way. Has Hairy ever caused such mayhem? Thank goodness for Miss Plum, who once again steps in to save the day!

Lynley Dodd is an award-winning author/illustrator, enormously popular for her rhyming stories of the memorable Hairy Maclary, Slinky Malinki, Schnitzel Von Krumm - and many others! She worked as a teacher before beginning to write her own books and her first Hairy Maclary adventure was published in 1983. Lynley lives in Tauranga, New Zealand, with her husband Tony and a fiendish cat called Suu Kyi.

Dodd's pictures are good, but the rhyming verse is even better - delightful to read aloud and soon learned by heart * Independent * (Hairy Maclary) is a child's best introduction to books * The Times *
