She writes and illustrates stories about Hairy Maclary and his friends, as well as Slinki Malinki the cat, Zachary Quack the duck, and Schnitzel von Krumm the sausage dog. This is just a selection; when my children were small they were bought a 5 book collection of Hairy Maclary stories, and they quickly learnt the rhythm of the stories and all the names of Hairy Maclary's friends.
My selection here:
- Hairy Maclary - 5 Lynley Dodd stories
- Hairy Maclary SIT
- Hairy Maclary and Zachary Quack
- Dragon in a wagon
- Hairy Maclary's Bone
- Schnitzel von Krumm's basketwork
- Slinki malinki
- Slinki Malinki Open the Door
- Scarface Claw
