Description
In the delightful and energetic tale of Hairy Maclary's Rumpus At The Vet by Lynley Dodd, our beloved scruffy dog, Hairy Maclary, finds himself in the middle of a hilarious upheaval at the vet's office. As he waits with an array of other animals, each with their own ailments and peculiarities, a sudden commotion sends the waiting room into chaos. Paws scuffle, bodies entangle, and jaws snap in a fantastically fun frenzy that will leave readers wondering what could have caused such a hullabaloo.
This enchanting adventure, now available in a brand new, larger, and more vibrant paperback edition, continues the whimsical, rhyming style that Lynley Dodd is celebrated for. Young readers will delight in the rhythm and humour of the text, while the vivid illustrations bring every character and comical mishap to life.
Hairy Maclary's Rumpus At The Vet is a must-have addition to any child's bookshelf and a wonderful tale to be enjoyed by readers of all ages. The story not only entertains with its lively plot and endearing characters but also subtly introduces young readers to the experiences of visiting the vet through an engaging and playful narrative.
Join Hairy Maclary and his friends for another unforgettable rumbustious romp. With Lynley Dodd's signature charm, this book promises laughter and enjoyment with every read, making it a perfect gift and a timeless addition to the beloved Hairy Maclary series.

About the Author
Lynley Dodd graduated from the Elam School of Art in Auckland with a diploma in Fine Arts, majoring in sculpture. She went on to teach art before taking a break to start a family. She began to work as a freelance illustrator and collaborated with author Eve Sutton on My Cat Likes to Hide in Boxes. There was no looking back as Lynley went on to write and illustrate her own books for children. Exuberant artwork and bouncy rhymes come together perfectly in books like Slinky Malinki and Hairy Maclary from Donaldson's Dairy. As well as being a visual delight, these are some of the most rewarding books for children and adults to read out loud.
