Hairy Maclary is off for a walk in town, and on the way he’s joined by many furry friends of all shops and sizes, from Bottomley Potts (covered in spots) to Schnitzel von Krumm (with a very low tum). But when they suddenly find themselves face-to-face with Scarface Claw – the toughest Tom in town – it’s time to run all the way back home!

“Children will love looking at the detailed illustrations of each dog, and it’s a great conversation starter around different words to describe how each dog looks and might feel” – The Evening Standard
