Summary: fun, if a little repetitive
Comment: This is a really enjoyable book (for some reason my husband decided that each of the different dogs should be introduced in a different voice which has made reading it more of a challenge!) but the story is a little repetitive and, for me, not as engaging as Slinky Malinki. Our daughter adores it and the illustrations are lovely.

Summary: Fab intro to a fab series of books
Comment: Hairy Maclary from Donaldson's Dairy is the ideal starter book to this fab series. Its pretty basic compared to some of the later offerings and introduces us to a lot of the characters with its charming rhyming prose. Characters such as "Bottomley Potts, covered in spots" (a dalmation) and "Schnitzel Von-Krumm with the very low tum" (a dachund)(excuse the spelling!). And how could we forget "Scarface Claw" - the toughest tom cat in town, whom my 3 year old is currently totally potty about to the point that he's demanded more books featuring Scarface Claw for Christmas (and its only October). Thankfully he won't be disappointed as there are other books in the series featuring this tough tom cat, including a book dedicated to Scarface Claw himself! Overall I think Hairy Maclary is a brilliant read which will be enjoyed night after night by child AND parent. Some books can become monotonous to read over and over but I haven't yet tired of reading this one to my son who always waits in anticipation until Scarface Claw jumps out of the shadows. He enjoys joining with with the loud MEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOW and also enjoys reciting the final "to bed" at the end. I can't rate this book highly enough. Go buy it ... NOW!

Summary: Absolutley brilliant
Comment: My son got a set of these books bought for his birthday and this is his absolute favourite. He is only 2 but he joins in with the actions and certain areas of the book are a highlight for him (where the cat jumps out) I can now read this book without looking after reading it so many times.
I would definitley recommend this for all children - a must have for your library at home!

Summary: It'll never be left idyling on the bookshelf.....
Comment: My 2 year old absolutely loved this booked from the first time I read it to her. With the rythmic style, tongue-twisting words, great story and wonderful fun, she was laughing with delight sitting still gripped with anticipation. She knows the book off by heart and I've read it so many times, so do I. She particularly loves Scarface Claw! In fact her reaction to this particular book led me to buy all of the Lynley Dodd books in the range! This will definitely be THE book I remember from my daughter's early childhood. So whether it's for your child or someone else's, you've just go to do it.... buy it... it'll never be left idyling on the bookshelf.

Summary: Fantastic!!
Comment: This book is an absolute must for every child.....and parent for that matter.
I first read Hairy Maclary to my little brother over 15 years ago and have been given it as a gift for my 1 year old. She thinks that it is fab and loves Scarface Claw - The toughest Tom in Town. The rythmn of the book is great and I have to agree with everyone else who says that it is perfect for bedtime.
