In this third series of escapades Hairy Maclary terrorises all the cats in the neighbourhood, until he comes upon Scarface Claw that is - then he more than meets his match. As ever the rhyme is a delight to read aloud: its rhythm and meter and the choice of words make the verses a pleasure to wrap the tongue around. Both the feline attitudes and the excitement of the chase are nicely caught in the full-page illustrations. Great fun. Wide appeal.
