5.0 out of 5 stars Both an engaging book- and one that helps your child's language development
Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2018

This children's book is an utter delight and I'm beyond confused that it isn't a huge sensation in American like it apparently is in the rest of the world where Hairy Maclary is as identifiable (and marketable!) as The Very Hungry Caterpillar or Madeline.

This is the first book in a series of children's books about animals. The illustrations are delightful and fun; the story is told in a rollicking bouncy rhythmic poetry form. My favorite part though is that the animals aren't anthropomorphic at all. They are dogs that act like dogs and think doggy thoughts. My 15 month old son loves the rhythm of the words and will say "woof woof" as he looks at the pictures of the dogs. The basic story is pretty simple, which makes it great for young toddlers, but that doesn't mean it dumbs things down. This book uses a large vocabulary, which is great to help expose kids to more "rare words" (a technical term, meaning words aht aren't amongst the 10,000 most commonly used words). This in turn really helps their language development and, down the road, their reading abilities.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fiance's childhood favorite
Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2014

When my fiance and I were looking for a book to give to a friends 3 year old, this is what he wanted to give. It's a childhood favorite (he's from New Zealand) and we were really trying to find something "New Zealand" to give to the boy to widen his horizons (he's from a small town in NC). I think this will do it! Starting with the question "what's a dairy?" haha...very cute book!

This was my kids favorite book, the rhyming text is fun to read and fun to listen to, now I've bought it for the grandkids. I really can't believe these books aren't available more readily! Every new Mom and family I gift one of these two is searching for more and in the US, they just aren't in print so you have to come to Amazon for your rhyming doggie adventures.

4.0 out of 5 stars Hairy Maclary and Ipads
Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2015

I think that all the Hairy Maclary books are very good for reading to young children and this one is the best. However, if you are trying to read to a small child who is not already enamoured with books but thinks that nothing can be better than an ipad I would suggest that you buy the app from itunes for Hairy Maclary. You can listen to the voice reading the story on the version purchased or you can change it; the tails twitch, the eyes move and the words are highlighted as the story progresses. Enjoy all the Hairy Maclary books but certainly include the app for this book.

One of the absolute best rhyming books/series EVER written with too cute to be real illustrations. Extremely popular in other English speaking countries but US too backward and uninformed and misguided and...I guess, to give it the credit it deserves. Your little one, age one-five will adore this. Probably memorize most of it. It sings! As Mem Fox says, "Rhymers will be readers." I can't recommend Dodd's books highly enough. She's the best! Author/illustrator is talented beyond belief. Try it; you'll love it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Para quienes han tenido un perro
Reviewed in Spain on September 6, 2020
Verified Purchase
Esta serie de libros gustará a quienes hayan tenido un perro en los años 80, en que era habitual ver grupos de perros patrullando juntos por el vecindario y observar sus discusiones inocentes con gatos o con otros perros. Queda perfectamente retratado lo que es un perro y gustará a quien lo haya vivido, pero es probable que no sea comprendido por quien no sabe cómo se comporta un perro o quien sólo haya paseado a su perro con la correa en entornos muy controlados, como sucede ahora.
Hay película para cada título de la serie, se puede buscar en YouTube.
Éste es el primer título; quizás como lectura aislada sea aburrido porque repite mucho los nombres de cada perro, hay que valorar la serie en su conjunto.
Decir que estos libros están preparados para enseñar a leer a los niños de habla inglesa: el adulto lee la historia una y otra vez y el niño memoriza la imagen de cada palabra; por eso es importante el ritmo y la repetición. Culturalmente es algo que no se comprende en España, en que aprender a leer es más "fácil", dado que "se lee como se escribe".
Excelentes también los libros de gatos del mismo autor.
