The Lovereading comment:
27 years old in 2010 and still as good as the day it was published. Written by Lynley Dodd, who is a New Zealander, this is the first in a series of books about the adventures of a scruffy dog ‘Hairy McClary’. Rhyming, catchy and comical with brilliant characters and plots. And just so you know a ‘dairy’ in New Zealand is a corner shop.

Hairy Maclary goes of for a walk with a few of his friends - and comes up against something that gives them all a nasty surprise!
