Hairy Maclary & Zachary Quack

Hairy Maclary and Zachary Quack
By Lynley Dodd

A delightful tale of persistence, friendship, and a very brave little duck.

When Zachary Quack—a small but determined duckling—decides he wants to play, he sets his sights on none other than Hairy Maclary.

The only problem?
Hairy Maclary isn’t quite as enthusiastic…

What follows is a lively, rhyming adventure full of chasing, dodging, and cheeky determination, as Zachary refuses to give up on his new “friend.”

Until suddenly… everything changes.

When Hairy Maclary finds himself in trouble, it’s little Zachary Quack who steps up—proving that courage doesn’t come from size.

Why children love this story:

• Fun, rhythmic language that’s perfect for reading aloud

• Bright, expressive illustrations full of personality

This charming tale reminds us that sometimes the smallest ones can make the biggest difference.

• Interactive storytime with rhythm and repetition
• Little readers who love animals and playful adventures
