Now Hairy Maclary and three friends are presented
in four miniature board books nestled in a delightful red slip case. This is an
ideal selection aimed to introduce Lynley Dodd’s books and characters to another
generation of preschoolers.
The sturdy board books are the perfect size for
tiny hands, and a feast for the eye in vivid colours of red, green, yellow and
purple. (An opportunity to teach them colours as well.)Hairy Maclary, Slinky
Malinki, Zachary Quack and Schnitzel von Krumm come crammed in joyous
togetherness in this boxed set.
Continually being reinvented, this group of animal
friends with quirky names and daring adventures come alive again. Minimal words
accompany five illustrations that capture snaps of animal activity across the
page. I imagine that more of these miniature collections will follow till all the
characters are covered. The set or a single book, will sit beautifully on a
little person’s bedside table, dresser, bookcase, in a book bag, under a
pillow, and particularly in little pockets.
