Hairy Maclary's Rumpus At The Vet




The vet's waiting room is full of woeful animals. Hairy Maclary is minding his own bandages when he unintentionally sets chaos in motion . . .

A durable board book edition of Hairy Maclary’s fifth adventure, in which there's a kerfuffle in the Vet’s waiting-room.

Sniffles and snuffles and doses of flu,
itches and stitches and tummy ache too . . .

Hairy Maclary is waiting to see the vet with lots of other pets. Then something happens to turn the waiting room into a scramble of paws, a tangle of bodies and a jumble of jaws . . .

Surely the vet will be able to fix it?

About the author

Lynley Dodd

Lynley Dodd graduated from the Elam School of Art in Auckland with a diploma in Fine Arts, majoring in sculpture. She went on to teach art before taking a break to start a family. She began to work as a freelance illustrator and collaborated with author Eve Sutton on My Cat Likes To Hide in Boxes. There was no looking back as Lynley went on to write and illustrate her own books for children. Exuberant artwork and bouncy rhymes come together perfectly in books like Slinky Malinki and Hairy Maclary from Donaldson's Dairy. As well as being a visual delight, these are some of the most rewarding books for children and adults to read out loud. It comes as no surprise that, as a child, she adored Dr Seuss because of his 'crazy sounds and the fact that he took such liberties with the English language.' Other favourite authors included A A Milne and the fairy tales of The Grimm Brothers and Hans Christian Andersen. Today, Lynley is a big fan of Quentin Blake 'because of his humour and very clever art work.'
