Another fun Slinky Malinky book..........2007-03-05

Lynley Dodd's mischievous feline is back... This time, Slinky learns how to master the doorknob... One of the great developmental milestones in any kitty's life! His partner in mischief is a parrot named Stickybeak Syd, who helps Slinky topple furniture, unravel scarves, tip over vases and generally wreak havoc. And the big twist at the end? The humans *don't* come back and put an end to the hijinks! Once again, Dodd crafts a nice, fun book, with a rollicking plot and an effective rhyme scheme... If your kid values meyhem, this is definitely worth checking out!

Very fun book!.......2006-12-09

Having lived with and loved cats, this was for me a delightfully familiar story of the playful mischief cats get into, with a fun twist at the end. I've enjoyed many of Lynley Dodd's books, especially this one and "Hairy Maclary Scattercat". My 5- and 3- year old girls have really enjoyed these.

Delightful book.......2006-11-07

This book is adorable. The rhyming text is fun to read aloud and the illustrations are hilarious. My 5 year old son LOVES Slinky Malinki and all the other Hairy MacLairy characters. It helps to have read "Hairy MacLairy From Donaldson's Dairy" in order to get the most out of the wonderful last page. LOVE the noses! :-)

Trouble at Home.......2006-07-19

Slinky Malinki, the cat reformed from the ways of night burglaring, is back and joined by a parrot named Stickybeak Syd. Together the two of them begin to raise a ruckus as they work their way through the house room by room. It is up to the black cat to jump and open each door. Then, togther, cat and bird play and make a shambles of what they find. But with the last door there is a sound on the other side. What can it be? The curious cat has to find out so taking a jump the door is opened.

Another wonderful story from the creator of Hairy Maclary from Donaldson's Dairy. Once again the author combines lyrical rhymes with repeated actions to create a fun-filled tale. Like with RUMPUS AT THE VET, this one has an open ending that readers can fill in with their own imagination. Fans of the author's books will appreciate and recognize the cameos that occur. All in all a fine addition to any children's collection. Check out Lynley Dodd's other wonderful books and see why she is often referred to as the Dr. Seuss of New Zealand.

One of the best children's books.......2006-07-08

Linley Dodd is a wonderful children's author and illustrator. This book is her best by far. Her characters are memorable and she doesn't dumb-down language. Children will learn vocabulary from her books-- bonus.
My sons (4 & 2) have enjoyed this book for years now. My 2 year old can't quite pronounce the title, but we know when he says "i-i-nky ma-inky" that he wants us to read it to him-- over and over! The mischief Slinky Malinki and Stickybeak Sid get into is just hilarious, going room to room wreaking havoc. The surprise at the end is just as fun! The rhythm and rhyme in this book is first rate, helping keep little ones interested.
Highly recommended for 18 months up.

A family favorite, even mom likes it!.......2006-02-11

Another gift from our friend - "Slinky Malinky jumped high off the floor, hung on the handle and opened the door"

This is a fun, rhythmic book that the whole family enjoys. Slinky and his bird friend Stickybeak Sid get into all kinds of things during the day, but have a surprise waiting behind the last door. :)

My 'Magic' Book.......2005-10-30

I work in child care, and this book was just sitting in the library of the classroom when I inherited it. I picked up that book one day and fell in love with it! Anytime the class was getting out of hand, I would sit down and start reading this book. Guarranteed by two lines into it, the entire class was seated and quiet - and it was a 20-child, 2 1/2 year old classroom. Most of the kids could have 'read' the book to me, and I didn't actually read the book before very long because I had it memorized. I haven't yet had my own children, but I already am starting to invest in books, and this was at the top of the list!

great book!.......2005-06-06

I am a preschool teacher and my class loves this book! They want me to read it to them all of the time. I have checked it out from the library so many times that I have to buy it. Slinky Malinky is just like one of my parents cats. Since I found this wonderful book I have started calling their cat Slinky Malinky when he gets into trouble.

Slinky Malinki Opened the Door (to:).......2004-12-23

My son adores this book, along with most of Lynley Dodd's books. He delights in telling what door Slinky Malinki is opening (to the bathroom, closet, office, kitchen, etc) and used to shout "Oh! A dog!" every time at the end. It is really delightfully written in a flowing rhyme with refrains. Memorable and enjoyable for all.

Fantastic Book!.......2004-12-16

I discovered Lynley Dodd on a recent trip to New Zealand and my 4 year old daughter cannot get enough of her books! Slinky Malinky Open the Door is by far both of our favorite. We have given this book as a gift to almost all of the children in our family.
