“Parrot brought her family, uncles, grandmothers and all.”⁠ From “Wake Up, Bear” by Lynley Dodd.⁠ ~⁠ #wakeupbear #lynleydodd #puffin #1986 #0140507906 #picturebook #kidlit #childrensfiction #picturebookillustration #picturebooks #picturebookstagram #childrensbook #kidlitart #picturebooksofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/Cfq9G_4OciC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“Never again did he answer the call, when moon shadows danced over garden and wall. When whispers of wickedness stirred in his head, he adjusted his whiskers and stayed home instead.” From “Slinky Malinki” by Lynley Dodd. If ever there was a poem for our times, eh? #puffin #slinkymalinki #lynleydodd #stayhome #flattenthecurve #corona https://www.instagram.com/p/B-J_ObgnzgR/?igshid=1xrzexnelejfy

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

I think if there's a literary monument somewhere, as a librarian it's my responsibility to take a photo. So apparently Tauranga has a Hairy Maclary and Friends monument #HairyMaclary #LynleyDodd #LibrarianCred

My favourite animal from a storybook would have to be Hairy Maclary (from Donaldson's Dairy ;)). This recognisable pooch was created by Lynley Dodd in 1983 and is still known today in his many escapades with friends such as Bitzer Maloney; and foe, such as Scarface Claw. #day11 #animalchallenge #hairymaclary #lynleydodd #storybookanimals
