"Hairy Maclary From Donaldson’s Dairy" first published in 1983, is the first and most well-known of a series of books by New Zealand author Lynley Dodd featuring Hairy Maclary. His adventures are usually in the company of his other animal friends who include the dachshund Schnitzel von Krumm, and tomcat Scarface Claw. (In New Zealand English a dairy is a small grocery store or corner shop).
Written for pre-school children, with rhythmic, rhyming text, it has become a classic bedtime storybook in New Zealand, and Lynley Dodd's books, including this one, dominate the children's section of the Premier New Zealand Bestsellers list [ [http://www.booksellers.co.nz/bk_prnz_platinum.htm Book News ] ]
