 ... and Hercules Morse. The dogs all vary in breed, and all 6 of them are merrily jogging along when they come across Scarface Claw, who we quickly find out is 'the toughest Tom in town!' The dogs all scarper back to their houses and the tale is over. The story is short but very sweet, and the rhyming is marvellous. Lots of people don't realise how educational such a book can be with children's rhyming skills and memory, and how easy it can make learning and teaching. The more fun a book is, the more likely the ...more

Of all the games we play in the car to pass the time singing and reciting songs and poems is the best. It makes us laugh. We're particularly big on There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly because Conor likes the wriggling, tickling spider and Green Grow The Rushes O because Kieran gets to shout "ho ho" very loudly and also because my father always sings it, and sings it badly, when he's been sampling liqueurs. Also, we like to make up limericks to trade mock insults with each other, but those repetitive counting songs and rhymes where we all try to sing or recite faster and faster and dissolve in silly giggles at the first person to get it all ...

This is a fabulous children's book, written and illustrated by Lynley Dodd...........who until this review I assumed was a man for some reason, wasn't sure of the gender of the name! Anyway that aside Lynley has written a wide range of brilliant books in the Hairy Maclary series, Hairy Maclary from Donaldson's Dairy being the first! It's very hard to believe that this book was first published back in 1983, but it has stood the test of time and still enjoyed by young children of today! - Who is Hairy Maclary? - HM is a dog...........Dodd's illustrations of him make him look very lovable and cuddly. He's a black / grey very long ...

Into his pushchair, strapped nice and safe, Went Thomas James Hodgson from number 28. Pushed by his mummy, straight into town Went Thomas James Hodgson, with many a frown. (He hates his pushchair you see.) Past the big toy shop, over the bump, Past all the buses, round the tree stump. Thomas' frowns are starting to go, His face lit by smiles - it's the library, you know! One of that two year old's favourite places, Every new book introducing new faces. That's where Thomas met, for the very first time, A book full of dogs, and antics which rhyme. There's: Hairy ...
