Visually reminiscent of the wonderful "Angus and the Ducks", et al, but even more playfully fun to read aloud thanks to author/illustrator Lynley Dodd's wonderful rhythmic rhyme scheme, the Hairy Maclary books, starting with "Hairy Maclary From Donaldson's Dairy" (1983) have been consistent favourites for over 30 years. Check out the images for a sample! Dodd's characters are so much fun that the series about Hairy, Schnitzel Von Krumm, Slinky Malinki and more has grown to at least 21 books, not even including the extra baby board and touch-and-feel books! And as a bonus, David Tennant of Doctor Who fame narrates the audiobooks! ⏺ ⏺ ⏺ #hairymaclary #hairymaclaryfromdonaldsonsdairy #hairymaclaryandfriends #lynleydodd #mallinsonrendel #childrensbookseries #rhymingbooks #rhymingstories #booksaboutdogs #dogbooksforkids #boardbooks #touchandfeelbook #authorillustrator #storytime #childrensbooks #bookcollection #mustread #readaloudbooks #picturebook #picturebookstagram #childrensclassics #classicchildrensbooks #childhoodfavorite #childhoodfavourite #readingismagic #booksforchildren #myfavouritechildhoodbooks #picturebooksreadaloud #bestbooksforkids #bookskidslove https://www.instagram.com/p/B0KOq20Haq3/?igshid=1u16c7jij6hkd
