Praise for Hairy Maclary and Friends: Colours in Maori and English

I love Colours. It’s sweetly designed, with well-chosen, humorous scenes illustrating each spread: for example, the waiporoporo spread shows Slinky Malinki pouncing on some toes poking out from under a purple blanket, and kakariki shows all Hairy’s mates going off for a walk alongside a green fence. My toddler is a fan

Jane Arthur, The Sapling

[H]ow lucky are we to have Lynley Dodd, ‘mum’ to Hairy Maclary and the likes of Slinky Malinki, still producing her gorgeous books with their delightful artwork and bouncy rhymes. The latest are two beautiful bilingual board books . . . for those very little hands.
