Hairy Maclary's Hat Tricks" is a hilarious rhyming story by Lynley Dodd. It's a blusterous gusterous dusterous day & Hairy Maclary is ready to play. So he trots down to the park where while enjoying a game of catch he comes across a windblown wedding party. Poor Grandmother Pugh (a vision in blue) tries to hold on to her hat but the wind whistles through it & blows it clean away. It's no problem for Hairy Maclary though! Off he shoots to the rescue chasing the hat high & low until.. .with a swoop & a flurry of black he caught it & carried it all the way back! Has Hairy ever caused such mayhem?
