WHO'S MARGERET MAHY?
A famous NZ author called Margaret Mahy tried to write a book when she was seven because she loved to read books and since she loved books so much, she wrote one herself!
When Margaret Mahy was seven her mum was a teacher and her dad was a builder.
Then a few years later when Margaet Mahy grew up and wrote many books,she started to get some rewards like Best Children's Author and the Esther Glen Award.
Margret Mahy is famous for poems and New Zealand books like 'Down the Back of the Chair'.
I think that Margaret Mahy is a terrific New Zealand children's author because she is hard working and she writes my favourite books and poems.

Lynley Dodd
Do you know how Lynley Dodd became an author?
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.
