Madeleine Deegan, Picture Books Post 3


Hairy Maclary, author/illustrator Lynley Dodd

Hairy Maclary is a children’s book that uses descriptive and imaginative words in  a rhyme sequence that allows the reader to get a full understanding of the characters and their personality and appearance. The use of rhyme throughout this book is simple yet effective allowing younger students to grasp the initial notion of a complex topic.

Slinky Malinki, author/illustrator Lynley Dodd

Slinky Malinki is similar to that of Hairy Maclary in that it uses many adjectives to paint the picture of the characters. Slinky Malinki follows the story of a cat who is a thief by night, stealing from the people around the neighborhood. The rhythmic pattern of the book is enjoyable to read and listen to making it an all time favorite for all.
