There is Hercules Morse as big as a horse, the Great Dane, Bottomley Potts covered in spots, the Dalmatian, Muffin McLay like a bundle of hay, the Old English Sheepdog, Bitzer Maloney all skinny and bony, the Greyhound, and (my personal favourite) Schnitzel von Krumm with a very low tum, the Dachshund. One by one they leave their houses and join the group of rather posy, show-off canine chums. In this book he and his friends are off for a walk and a good sniff of the neighbourhood. Hairy Maclary is a scruffy little black dog with a surfeit of fur and a tiny, nosy, pointed face with bright, mischievous eyes. Put Hairy Maclary and his friends near to the top of your list. There are hundreds upon hundreds of picture books from which to choose when you're buying for your child. Summary: Like all great picture books, Hairy Maclary is built on rhyme, rhythm, repetition and humour.
