Explain..............

Maybe I should explain the heading to the last post. Here in New Zealand we have a wonderful children's author called Lynley Dodd, whose alliterative children's books are a household word.

Perhaps her best-loved character is Hairy Maclary from Donaldson's Dairy, who actually featured in a TV ad - I think it was for milk - a few years back. A series of young children and parents were shown "bedtime reading" his most famous escapade:
"Out of the gate and off down the street
Went Hairy Maclary from Donaldson's Dairy..."     Etcetera.

For some reason this quote just would not leave my mind when it came to writing the last post - so here's a pic of Hairy Maclary himself, linked to his Author's website:

Patricia--I hadn't heard of these books, but just loved the picture you provided, so I went to the website and spent ten minutes just trying to click on the bouncing dogs!! And they bark when you click on them!

Great stuff Deb - there's a nice bit of relaxation LOL!!!!

These books are very cool - it's a pity they don't give you any excerpts on the website. :-))
