About the Books
Each book follows Hairy Maclary, Slinky Malinki and their neighbourhood animal friends as they wander streets and stumble into gently funny scrapes. From a chaotic trip to the vet in Hairy Maclary's Rumpus at the Vet, to a starry turn in Hairy Maclary's Showbusiness, and Slinky Malinki's cheeky catflap capers, every story is built around Lynley Dodd's trademark rolling rhyme and repetition. This sing-song text is wonderfully satisfying to read aloud, helping children predict rhyming words and build early phonological awareness. Dodd's warm, expressive illustrations bring each character vividly to life. Originally created in New Zealand and now firm favourites in UK homes and classrooms, these titles have introduced generations of children to Hairy Maclary's world.
