I was about four years old when I was given it and it was an all-time favourite, and I still have a copy. Slinky Malinki, Early Bird (2012) Hairy Maclary and Friends, Lynley Dodd, 2012.It was about a dog that had been found but he destroyed the house and got into much trouble. My favourite picture book as a child was Chappie by Constance Heward. What was your favourite picture book as a child? And besides your own books, what picture books do you enjoy, or give as gifts to children? And in her more youthful years she attacked the Christmas tree repeatedly, demolishing decorations and rearranging them.
My book Slinky Malinki, Early Bird was based on the morning antics of Suu Kyi.
She is very demanding and she has me under her paw! She loves to be part of the action, which can mean attacking my friends and getting up to mischief when I’m on the phone. I have a 17-year-old diabetic Burmese cat called Suu Kyi. Can you tell us a little bit about any pets you have now? Since then, every new story about Hairy Maclary and his gang, not to mention Scarface Claw, has become a firm favourite with children around the world. The secret lives of dogs and cats has been your perennial theme. Hairy Maclary from Donaldsons Dairy was first published in 1983, and became an instant success.
