This latest adventure of Hairy Maclary the dog from Donaldson's Dairy has made him winner of the New Zealand Picture Story Book of the Year Award. It has been read and reread so many times yet is still greeted with gales of laughter at the absurdity of how Hairy Maclary, in his inimitable way, manages to win one of the first prizes in the Cat Show! Lynley Dodd manages to give us the good old rollicking rhythms of Music Hall to match her appealingly zany illustrations. A must for all Hairy fans and a good intro to this style of poetry for any who haven't yet met him.
