Product Description
From School Library Journal
PreS-K--In this latest addition to the series, Hairy scampers away to avoid participating in an obedience class. He is soon followed by the other dogs in the class, as each in turn escapes. The animals are shown running, jumping, and generally having a good time until they all go "splat" in the pond. The full-color illustrations are attractive and simple enough for children to identify the various breeds. However, while the repetitive "galloping here, galloping there, rollicking, frolicking, EVERYWHERE" will please young listeners, the minimal plot offers little else. Hairy Maclary lovers will want this one; but if you don't have a current fan club for this pooch, don't start one with this title.

'A child's best introduction to books' -- The Times 'Dodd's pictures are good, but the rhyming verse is even better -- delightful to read aloud and soon learned by heart' -- Independent on Sunday

This review is from: Hairy Maclary Sit (Paperback)
The prose in this book is easy to read, easy to follow for little people & draws them in & gets them memorizing passages that they love the most. My grand-daughter, (3 almost 4) loves these books & wants me to read them over & over & over....

A favourite of my two year old,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Hairy Maclary, Sit (Library Binding)
We have all the Hairy Maclary books and we (my two year old daughter and I) love the rhyming and the great pictures. "Sit" has a simple, boisterous story that rollicks along. Although I prefer some of the others in the series (e.g. "Showbusiness", "Slinky Malinki"), this is my daughter Alice's favourite. Highly recommended book and author for your pre-schooler.

The Harry Maclary books capture "dogginess",
By Ann M. Huebner - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Hairy Maclary, Sit (Library Binding)
I discovered the Hairy Maclary books a couple of weeks ago. Talk about EUREKA! I can't believe they aren't bestsellers in the US. They are just wonderful. My toddler loves them. Hairy Maclary is a little black dog "from Donaldson's Dairy" who has all sorts of cleverly-named dog friends, like Bottomley Potts "all covered in spots" (a dalmation), Schnitzel von Krumm "with a very low tum" (a dachshund), and Muffin McLay "like a bundle of hay" (an English sheepdog). They are introduced in Linley Dodd's first book, HAIRY MACLARY FROM DONALDSON'S DAIRY, and make various guest appearances in the other books. In HARRY MACLARY, SIT we see a dog obedience class taking place in a park. Or, as Linley Dodd puts it, "A fidget of dogs lined up on the grass for the Kennel Club's Special Obedience Class." We then have Hairy Maclary, who is feeling "breezily bad, jittery, skittery, mischievous, mad," run off. The other dogs chase him--each in his or her own particular way, rhyme permitting. For example, Bottomly Potts gets his leader "tangled up in knots". In the end, everyone ends up in the lake. The rhyming text is outstanding. (Think of a wordier, more literary Jeff Moss or Shel Silverstein.) But mention must also be made of the illustrations. They are outstanding, too. They capture "dogginess"--the scratching, sniffing, panting, lunging, and so forth. I think that the whole of these books is greater than the sum of their parts, so you may have to read a few before you develop a real affection for them. Given that, would it be too much to hope that they be released in paperback!

Don't Bet On It,
By Joshua Koppel - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Hairy Maclary Sit (Paperback)
Hairy Maclary, the scruffy rambunctious canine from Donaldson's Dairy, is in obedience class. Hairy has caused a rumpus at the vet and a commotion at the cat show so we can hardly expect less at school.Hairy Maclary escapes his lead to run and frolic. Freedom is contagious and other dogs begin to follow. Soon Hercules Morse, Bottomly Potts, Bitzer Maloney, Muffin Maclay, and Schnitzel von Krumm are all frolicking away. Several other dogs I do not know from other books also join the fray. but not listening to directions can also cause trouble as the canine pack soon learns. Another fine tale in the world of Hairy Maclary. Lynley Dodd continues to use verse and intelligent language coupled with endearing illustrations. Check it out. |
