BUY – Hairy Maclary, Scattercat
More sumptuous fun with the cheeky little dog Hairy Maclary. A rhyming tale full of brilliantly named characters who children will get to know well from the repeat reading this book is sure to get.
The story line may be simple but the execution is delightful.
“Hairy Maclary felt bumptious and bustly, bossy and bouncy and frisky and hustly.”
The vocabulary is stimulating and the pictures vibrant and exciting.
Each animal is brimming with personality and children will adore the mischievous face of Hairy Maclary as he peeps out from his various hiding places at each cat.
The repetition…BUT ALONG CAME HAIRY MACLARY…adds the perfect balance of suspense and interaction for little ones.
Chasing Butterball Brown, Greywacke Jones and even Slinky Malinki is enormous fun but when he comes across the big bad tomcat Scarface Claw, it’s Hairy Maclary who gets chased all the way home.
This iconic series has been reprinted many times which is a testament to its unswerving popularity!
