Hairy Maclary's Scattercat

In Scattercat, Hairy encounters Scarface Claw, who "bothered and bustled him, rustled and hustled him, raced him and chased him all the way home."

Publishers Weekly

"When Cassie the cockatoo plucks a hair from the hide of Hairy Maclary, the deed sets in motion a rambunctious, rhyming riot," said PW of the first title. "With amusing alliteration, fanciful names and rapid-fire delivery, this book will tickle the funnybones of parents and children alike." Ages 2-5. (Mar.) Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.
