Description

The immensely popular Hairy Maclary from Donaldson’s Dairy is now available as an interactive KIWA Book with wonderful narration by David Tennant (Good Omens, Doctor Who). It has also had video narration in 3 sign languages; NZSL, AUSLAN & ASL

Run your fingers over the text to hear the story and touch any word to hear and see it spoken and spelt. You can even colour in pages of the story and record your own voice. Hear the barking dogs and the ferocious yowl of Scarface Claw, all part of the interactive experience, giving children and parents’ hours of fun. This is not only a marvellous story, but a superb aid for early learning and literacy development.

It was thirty years ago that a small black dog stepped out of the imagination of author and illustrator Lynley Dodd and onto the pages of a picture book. This book, Hairy Maclary from Donaldson’s Dairy, is now famous the world over and the 20 titles in the Hairy Maclary and friends series have now sold more than six million copies worldwide.

Hairy Maclary from Donaldson’s Dairy combines simple narrative storytelling with virtuoso use of rhythm and rhyme, and Dodd’s gentle but energetic watercolour illustrations depict characters that are as well loved as they are mischievous.

Hairy Maclary Reviews

Good for children learning to read

Maclary on

Canada

App Stability: 3 stars out of 5 App Usefulness: 4 stars out of 5 I have a 3 year old daughter who is a great Hairy Maclary fan. We have all the books and the audio CD. The application is read a good slow pace for a child learning to read. The words are highlighted as the narrator reads the story. Your child can stop the narrative and select individual word repeatedly to the extent that you can be driven mad. For some reason my daughter loves the word from. 20 minutes of "from" does eventually result in the iPad being removed from daughter's hands. :D The app also allows your child stop and colour the pictures with a built in paint program. The original colouring or the new colours from your child can be displayed. While the painting is somewhat primitive it does engage a 3 year. My daughter picked up the operation of the app quickly and switches between the painting and the narrative on the fly. I do sit and help her understand the association between the words and the narrative but she can and does use it by herself. On a negative note the app has crashed a bit more than expected However all my iPads crash more than expected. So nothing new. N Side note: For you Doctor Who fans, the narrator is David Tennant the Tenth Doctor. He is an excellent animated narrator and read the story with his Scottish accent. My daughter is use to rolled r's so the accent is not a problem. But some children unfamiliar with the accent may have problems

Animal names

Mostly just animals names. Got for the Auslan. It is good for descriptive signs, been waiting for them to add sign language in the form of ASL, Auslan or NZSL to the rest of the series but after 2 years it does not seem they will unfortunately.

My grandchildren love this book. I bought it previously and have been receiving messages that the developer needed to update it, which has never happened. Consequently I’ve had to pay again for a working version......not happy
