Format:Board book
I bought this book for my 3 year-old son as a birthday present and from the first time we read it, it has become one of our firm favourites! It's told in rhyme and the words flow smoothly and quickly from one page to the next bringing the story to life with wonderful images of a prowling, mischievous cat who ends up in hot water because of his thieving ways. The pictures that go along with it are vibrant and apt, taking the reader along with every weird and wonderful item Slinky Malinki steals and then drags back to his house on the hill. My son was giggling half way through already and didn't stop until the end of this magical tale.

Format:Paperback
This book grabbed my 22month old daughter's attention from the first reading. She will ask to have this book read to her over and over again. Linky (as she calls him) is captivating from the first page. My daughter especially loves the part of the story when the dogs on the block go 'Ro Ro Ro Ro' - Lynley Dodd seems to have a knack at making animal noises come alive on paper. My daughter also recommends Hairy McLary from Donaldsons Dairy! A very funny book and a bit of a tongue twister.

Slinky Malinki is a fabulous book, full of rollicking rhyme which captures the imagination and well describes the escapades of a "stalking, lurking, adventurous cat", whose midnight wanderings go horribly wrong one evening. Fun to read and fun to listen to.

Slinky Malinki's a thief!
I and many children I work with love the meter of this poem; how it builds up to the shock of him being a thief. Read more

Another hit by Lynley Dodd
The name of this cat alone is a good reason to buy the book, but it has lovely rhyming verse and is a fun story. A lovely addition to this series of books.

A childrens classic?
Great book. My four year old absolutely loves this book. We've just bought others from this writer and he loves them. Easy, flowing reading which grips the kids imagination.

Slinky Malinki, a star buy.
This is a Lynley Dodd classic. If you like any of the other stories you will love this one. Slinky Malinki has a catchy tone and brillant ending. It's a must have.

Best book we own
This is a fab book, I think it is our family favourite. The wording is brilliant, my 13 month old daughter loves us reading it and flicks through it herself.
