5.0 out of 5 stars Delightful, January 5, 2002

This review is from: Hairy Maclary Scattercat (Gold Star First Readers) (Library Binding)

This is a delightful book, the language is great and the pictures wonderful. Most of Lynley Dodd's regular characters such as Slinki Malinki and Scarface Claw make an appearance as Hairy Maclary bounces along through the pages in a boisterous mood. I love reading this one to my three year old niece. The words have a real rhythm to them and the story has just enough suspense to keep little ones interested. I have not yet read a Lynley Dodd book that I don't like - but this one is a real favourite!

5.0 out of 5 stars Like all Lynley Dodd - great, March 23, 2000

This review is from: Hairy Maclary-Scattercat (Gold star first readers) (Library Binding)

We've been reading this, the hairy MacLary and other Lynley Dodd books for 5 years now....started when my son was about 18 months, and still going strong! There is as much in the language for a 6 year old starting to read on their own as for the shared experience with younger children.

Lynley Dodd and Margaret Mahy MUST be New Zealand National Treasures.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another great Hairy Maclary book, September 18, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Hairy Maclary-Scattercat (Gold star first readers) (Library Binding)

Great rhymes, wonderful words ("bumptious and bustly"...) and a fun, simple tale. A real favouite of my two year old. Another great children's book from a superb author. Highly recommended.
