A rhyming account of the mischievous dog Hairy Maclary's appearance at the annual cat show. Suggested level: preschool, junior.

Guess who wins the prize for the scruffiest cat at this year's show? Winner of the 1992 AIM Children's Picture Book of the Year Award.

This bestselling story has now been brilliantly adapted for audio CD and there are two readings the first is a straight reading with music and the second has a 'woof!' sound to indicate where to turn the page as you read along. Hairy Maclary's wait outside the butcher's shop is rewarded by a large bone. As he starts off home, five other assorted dogs follow behind with their eyes on his it. Luckily, one by one, the other dogs fall by the wayside, and Hairy Maclary and his bone reach home unscathed.

Fur rises and havoc ensues when Hairy Maclary the dog intrudes upon a cat show.

Hairy Maclary is off to the park with his skimmer to have some fun in suitably doggy style. When he comes across a wedding party and the wind whips Grandmother Pugh's hat away he's the hero of the moment when he fetches it back.

"Hairy Maclary felt bumptious and bustly, bossy and bouncy and frisky and hustly" Hairy Maclary, everyone's favourite dog, is busy chasing and hustling all the neighbourhood cats from Slinky Malinki to Pimpernel Pugh. But when he comes face to face with Scarface Claw, the toughest tomcat in town, it's Hairy Maclary's turn to be bustled, rustled and hustled!

Something was happening down in the park;such a yapcould be heard,such a blusterous bark.Hairy Maclary causes trouble again when he is simply not in the mood for the Kennel Club's Obedience Class. He feels mischievous and mad and not only does he scamper away but all his friends - Bottomley Potts, Muffin McLay, Hercules Morse, Schnitzel von Krumm and the rest follow 'Galloping here, galloping there, rollicking, frolicking everywhere'!
