The brilliantly clever rhyme and vivid, engaging pictures have made this story into a children's classic, beloved for over 40 years - and it's still one of the most popular picture books today. By Lynley Dodd First published in 1983, this is the first in a series of books about the adventures of a scruffy dog ‘Hairy Maclary’. Rhyming, catchy and comical with brilliant characters and plots. And just so you know a ‘dairy’ in New Zealand is a corner shop. Following the resounding success of my Locus Quest, I faced a dilemma: which reading list to follow it up with? Variety is the spice of life, so I’ve decided to diversify and pursue six different lists simultaneously. This book falls into my BEDTIME STORIES list. Search for the numbers in the story. Make the numbers using the materials to show their value. What is something the same about the numbers? What can you use to calculate the total of all the numbers?

I have a little boy and love reading to him, so this reading list will cover the classic (and new) children’s stories we’re enjoying together.Although the Hairy Maclary series are peppered with loads of New Zealand references such as the word “dairy” (this would be called a “corner shop” in Scottish lingo), and illustrations with cabbage trees, Pōhutukawa, ponga trees and flax, the name “Maclary” is a decidedly Scottish-sounding name! What’s in a name? In recognition of the success of these books, a sculpture of Hairy Maclary and other characters from the books was officially unveiled on the waterfront in Tauranga in 2015, the city where Lynley Dodd lives. Hairy Maclary, who lived at Donaldson's Dairy, is joined by his friends, Hercules Morse, a dog who was 'as big as a horse', Bottomley Potts, a Dalmatian who was, not surprisingly, 'covered in spots', Muffin McLay, a cute little dog who was 'like a bundle of hay', Blitzer Malone, a Greyhound 'all skinny and bony', Schnizel von Krumm, a Dachshund with 'a very low tum', went together for a walk past the shops and the park into town.

If people are all just as emotional, or frightened in a situation, then what might cause them to respond differently to it?Original questions and guidelines for philosophical discussion archived here.
