“Hairy Maclary from Donaldson’s Dairy” (2002) is a series of stories for pre-school children written by Linley Dodd, a New Zealander writer and illustrator.

Hairy Maclary has become a classic bedtime storybook in New Zealand and Australia which is based on the cyclic accumulation through repetition of elements selected according to their phonetic qualities. Thus, the ensemble of words making up the nursery rhyme grounds on alliterations. The progressive story technique reminds us of another well-known classic: “The Gigantic Turnip” or "Old MacDonald Had a Farm".
