$18.95

Schnitzel von Krumm’s family has replaced his smelly old basket - will he ever sleep again? Another hilarious tale in Lynley Dodd's Hairy Maclary and Friends series.

Schnitzel von Krumm’s family has replaced his smelly old basket - will he ever sleep again?

Tucked in a hideyhole under the stair,
lay a rickety basket in need of repair . . .

Schnitzel von Krumm is outraged when his misguided family decides to replace his worn out, beaten up, smelly old basket. He tries to find somewhere else sleep, but none of the places he tries out - a pile of laundry, the broom cupboard, the vegetable basket, under a shrub - has the friendly smell of his old basket. Poor little Schnitzel! Will his family get the message?

About Lynley Dodd

Lynley Dodd graduated from the Elam School of Art in Auckland with a diploma in Fine Arts, majoring in sculpture. She went on to teach art before taking a break to start a family. She began to work as a freelance illustrator and collaborated with author Eve Sutton on My Cat Likes To Hide in Boxes. There was no looking back as Lynley went on to write and illustrate her own books for children. Exuberant artwork and bouncy rhymes come together perfectly in books like Slinky Malinki and Hairy Maclary from Donaldson's Dairy. As well as being a visual delight, these are some of the most rewarding books for children and adults to read out loud.
