We are always thrilled to see a familiar face make the jump from the pages of a book to living 3D on the stage, and this time, it’s Hairy Maclary from Donaldson’s Dairy who will be taking centre stage soon in Hairy Maclary and Friends.
We were first introduced to Hairy Maclary and his motley crew of friends when the kids’ Godmother gifted us with a set of Hairy Maclary books some years ago. “These are classics!” she said, and hugely popular with kids in Australia and the author’s native New Zealand. Upon reading the books, I could see why. Written in rhyming verse, the books proved to be enjoyable read-alouds. The clever use of repetition made it easy for the kids to follow along, even Mei, and soon they both able to recite along as we got to know Hercules Morse as big as a horse, Bottomley Potts covered in spots, Muffin Maclay like a bundle of hay, Bitzer Maloney all skinny and bony, and Schintzel von Krum with the very low tum.
Since we heard Hairy will be coming, we’ve pulled out all our books and reacquainted ourselves with Hairy and gang. The show promises to be packed with live music, singing, singing and colourful costumes, suitable for ages 2+ and up so we really looking forward to it!
Hairy Maclary and Friends will be playing only 7 shows from 10 to 12 October 2014, so don’t miss this chance to get to know these loveable dogs! Visit ABA Productions or hairymaclaryshow.co.uk

I like dogs as they are really man's best friend if you treat him as one. I once saw a dog sendinv off his master to work. As his master's helper walk him back the opposite way. The dog keep turning back to look at his master.
