Lynley Dodd is a famous author and she was born on 5th July 1941.
Her place of birth is Rotorua and she now lives in Tauranga. Lynley Dodd is a children's writer, known internationally as the great creator of Hairy Maclary.
Then in 1999 she received the Margaret Mahy award in 2002 and the best thing is knowing that thousands of children (and grown ups) around the world are reading her books. The worst thing about being an author is trying to meet dead lines (she's quite good but still worries about it!)
Lynley Dodd's favourite food is tasty Soup, Strawberries and Mushrooms.
Art was her favourite subject at school but she hated maths! She had many favourite authors as a child like Winnie the pooh,The Dr seuss books and Enid Blyton.
Lynley Dodd's books are amazing because she always uses WOW words like Miss Hughes and is so WONDERFUL!
Lynley Dodd is a famous for Hairy Maclary and I look forward to reading more of her books in the future.

A fantastic biography. I'm teaching my kids about different biograhies. Will have to show them some of yours to show them some good examples. Well done.

Well done on your great biography, Tracey.
ReplyDeleteI like the way you opened with a question to hook your readers in and that you tried to write the important events of her life in time order using paragraphs.
What interesting facts you found out too! I also love eating soup (especially if it's tasty!)
