Hairy MacLary was recommended by the wonderful lady at the newsagents.
(who is absolutely a star and I don't know how she manages!)
I was in the Post Office returning a torn Hairy MacLary to ebay, and I was explaining to the lady behind the counter about the book. Before I know it a lady in the next queue joins in, 'Hercules Mores, big as a horse, Bottomly Potts, covered in spots...' She had last read them 19 years before, but they had never left her. They rock! And I took a stash of new ones away with me on holiday to help keep little bear amused.
I have managed to convince little bear that the big, black, depressed tom next door is Scarface Claw, the toughest tom in town. Little bear is enchanted by the idea.
Now I am off to research Katie Morag...
