Hairy Maclary and Friends: Hairy Maclary from Donaldson's Dairy

The hilarious rhyming story that introduced the world to the most famous scruffy dog in children’s literature. Hairy Maclary from Donaldson's Dairy is the first book in Lynley Dodd’s beloved series, featuring iconic rhythmic text and charming illustrations.

Hairy Maclary goes off for a walk in town, stepping out from the gates of Donaldson's Dairy. Along the way, he is joined by a parade of his canine friends, including Hercules Morse (as big as a horse), Bottomley Potts (all covered in spots), and Muffin McLay (like a bundle of hay).

The gang of dogs is having a grand old time exploring the streets, feeling bold and brave—until they come face-to-face with the one creature that can send them all scurrying home. With its infectious cumulative rhyme and delightful characters, this timeless story has been a favourite for bedtime reading for generations.
