Hairy Maclary and Friends: Little Library (4 Board Books)

I grabbed this product as a sale item assuming, being of the Hairy Maclary line, that it would be of the quality and nature of Lynley Dodd's well known books. However it is nothing of the sort. The package is nice enough in it's presentation. You get 4 small books based around some of the more well known characters of Hairy Maclary but none of the charm found in the writing. Each page has a picture and small, simple sentence relevant to what's seen. Unfortunately it's not even in rhyme.

The product is little more than merchandising at it's worst. At best though, these books may serve as a chew toy for an infant if you are so inclined to allow it. I for one find myself a few dollars out with a product I have no use, need, or desire for. A horrible disappointment.

I was a little disappointed that this wasn't the actual stories in miniature.....but they are good none-the-less. It gives us a brief introduction to the world of Lynley Dodd's lovable characters.

I am in love with this mini library, hairy maclary books was a childhood favourite and I am sooo happy I can introduce these books into his bedtime story.

I was expecting longer stories- closer to the originals. Good, but will be kept as a christmas present for a very young child rather than the reading tool I was hoping to use it for a new entrant to school. A favourite ‘Hairy Maclary’ was to my little girl as a toddler, the one I used to read to her ruined- thinking this would replace that.

My little boy just loves these books and they are a great size so we can take them wherever we go.
