Not O/P in Australia,

This review is from: Hairy Maclary's Caterwaul Caper (Gold Star First Readers) (Library Binding)
I see these Lynley Dodd books all the time."With a twitch of his tail and a purposeful paw, down by the river crept Scarface Claw." Oh, that gorgeous, alliterative "purposeful paw"....who said children's books can't employ language so inventively! makes all the run of the mill, pedestrian stuff look as ordinary as it really is! This MIGHT be my favourite Dodd. All the dogs from Hairy Maclary are there, and the old bully, Scarface Claw who turns out not to be as tough as his own publicity might assume! There are fantastic opportunities in this book to make great noises, as Scarface Claw and the dogs all make their own noises....and how deliciously appropriate are each... Schnitzel Von Krumm: YIP-YIP Bitzer maloney: BOW-WOW-WOW-WOW Muffin McLay: RUFF-RUFF Bottomley Potts: RO-RO-RO-RO-RO-RO Hercules Morse: WOOF Hairy McLary: YAP-YAP-YAP and Scarface Claw? WROWWW-W-W-W-W-W-W-W- "The din was so awful that up hill and down, you could hear the CACOPHONY all over town." Gorgeous.

Caterwaul together!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Hairy Maclary's Caterwaul Caper (Gold Star First Readers) (Library Binding)
Our 3 children have loved this book with all the different dogs and the sounds they make. One child makes the yowling cat sound and I do the dogs. They occasionally join in and it can become very entertaining. It just depends on how mellow or raucous you want to be. The story is simple but cute and the rhyming is creative and catchy.

Before even thinking about reading this one aloud, grab a really big glass of water. All the dogs from the first Hairy Macleary are back and making all sorts of barks, and then there's the sound that echoes around...If you haven't read any Hairy Macleary yet (and why not!!?), they are great read-aloud stories with plenty of tumpity rhythm and rhymes. (Not to say that you can't secretly grab one and read it quietly, too.)
