Hairy Maclary From Donaldson's Dairy

Hairy Maclary From Donaldson’s Dairy by Lynley Dodd is the much-loved first adventure in this classic children’s picture book series, now in a sturdy board book format for little hands. With its bouncy rhyming text and instantly recognisable illustrations, it’s a read-aloud that begs for repeat visits.

Off he trots—Hairy Maclary—setting out on a walk, soon joined by his lively dog friends: Hercules Morse, Bitzer Maloney, Muffin McLay, Bottomley Potts and Schnitzel von Krumm. The pack’s cheerful wander turns suddenly tense when a startling sound sends them scattering. Just what (or who) has spooked the whole crew?

Perfect for toddlers and preschoolers, new parents building a bedtime stack, and anyone after a New Zealand-set classic full of rhythm, humour and dogs.

Add it to your shelf and meet Hairy—and his gang—from the very beginning.
