Hairy Maclary Story Collection (Hairy Maclary and Friends)

We use audiobooks in the car for my 16 month old as a way to calm her down if she's getting stroppy/hungry/bored and this is a great one!! Mr Tenant surprised me at how good his story telling is. The use of props/sound effects is just right as well without too many crashes and bangs but it's honestly the best one we've had for ages!!

I looked everywhere for this version (read by David Tennant) and am delighted that this came into stock. I was kept informed of when it may do so (when I ordered it, it stated that it would be a while) and it ended up arriving before Christmas, which was a bonus as the estimated stock arrival date was further on. Wonderful stories, read in a charming way by one of our current great character actors. Great value for money and a "fab find".

A single CD, nothing extra in the case i.e. art work etc.Good stories for young children.The stories do rattle along a fair pace, you would struggle to follow with a book.The stories change with a chime, a heart beat later the next story starts.This story CD is more for listening to in the car or at bedtime.Some say David Tennant is unaudible, yes he does sound "extra" Scottish but is very clear & almost soothing...My little man loves laying in bed with this playing him to sleep, after reading a bedtime book together this is like a bonus for him.A pretty decent CD story set, we like it but it'll never replace the Gruffalo!

As all of these Hairy Maclary stories a joy to listen to and to read. Just the right length, funny and with Lynley Dodds ability to write super rhyming text. Combined with a great use of language that stretches the vocabulary and understanding of even the youngest fan. Brilliant.

First off, the book/story is fantastic, have read it before, but this book, read with a Scottish accent and belonging to a man whose voice you could listen forever, no contest really. It has to be 5 stars. The owner of the item delivered it within its time, I wasn't waiting around, when Amazon said it was on its way it truly was. Excellent

I love this and contrary to what other people have said in reviews about how fast it is read, I think this is done to perfection. Maybe not the best for following along with the book, I haven't tried, but certainly the style of writing wouldn't work with pauses between pages, as the rhyme often follows through between pages, so it would lose it's natural rhythm and flow (the most appealing and educational part of it)!!I love the fast-paced story-telling and it is perfect for the car!

Our 4 year old grandson absolutely loves it. He loves to say the names of the dogs along with David tennant who reads it beautifully .

Grandchildren absolutely live it. Mainly played in the car. David Tenant's voice is smooth and hypnotic just wish there were more stories it's so enjoyable it's over too quickly

Fantastic books, highly recommend 😊

This probably isn't suitable for 3 yr olds as David Tennant goes through the books at lightning speed and my little one can't keep up. Would be helpful if he read a bit slower and they had a sound for every time he turns the page.
