Hairy Maclary, Scattercat 3.1.2

Hairy Maclary is characterized by a lively and exuberant demeanor—poignant of his bossy, bouncy, and frisky nature. His spirited personality vividly captures his energetic pursuit of neighborhood cats, from Slinky Malinki to Pimpernel Pugh. However, when he encounters Scarface Claw, the most formidable tomcat in town, Hairy Maclary finds himself on the receiving end of a playful hustle, rustle, and bustle that underscores the lively dynamics of the story.

This interactive edition offers tactile engagement: run your fingers over the text to listen to the narration and touch any word for spoken and spelled feedback. Children can also personalize their experience by coloring pages and recording their own voices. The inclusion of sounds such as barking dogs and Scarface Claw's ferocious yowl enriches the experience, making it both entertaining and educational. Beyond its engaging narrative, this digital book serves as an effective tool to support early literacy and learning development.

Established three decades ago by Lynley Dodd, Hairy Maclary debuted with his eponymous picture book. Since then, the series comprising twenty titles has achieved global recognition, with over six million copies sold worldwide. The enduring popularity of these stories testifies to their appeal among young readers and their value as a literary resource.
