Product Description

Product Description
'Christmas was coming. Out came the tree, dressed up in finery, splendid to see. Trinkets and tinsel with baubles and bows, a mouse with a hat and a very red nose.' It's Christmas in Slinky Malinki's house and the rapscallion, mischievous cat is most curious about the Christmas tree. With its reindeer, ribbons, baubles and bells, it's too tempting a treat for Slinky not to investigate. So Slinky Malinki, with mischievous glee, creeps out from the shadows to climb up the tree...

5.0 out of 5 stars A great feline frolic for the festive season., 28 Oct 2007
By ELH Browning "Esther-Lou" (Kingston Bagpuize, Oxon) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
Dodd's writing style is rollicking rhyme in fast paced rhythm with scrumptious imaginative vocabulary. The warm and homely illustrations, on every left hand page, are festive in red and greens, bright baubles and trinkets enticingly dangling on the Christmas tree. Slinky Malinki is a sleek black cat that gets up to mischief and of course he can't resist having a climb. He seizes a Santa in a smothery hug and the fairy gets whisked away under the rug.... Can she be found and what can the family do for a fairy? And there's a bit of a twist at the end of the story to raise a smile. It's a (Christmas) cracker of a picture book, perfect for the 2-5s. If you are already a Lynley Dodd fan then BUY!
If not, then this is great (apart from the word pothersome, which pothers me) or for a non-festive equivalent, appropriate all year round, then Slinky Malinki's Catflaps has the best twist or Slinki Malinki, Open The Door is great for repetition.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lovely festive Slinky story, 19 Dec 2008
By Gill Le Fevre (Reading, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a great addition to the Slinky Malinki series and perfect for the lead up to Christmas. I don't find it quite as good as some of the others (Slinky Malinki and Hairy MacClary are our favourites) but my daughter really enjoys it. For me the ending is a little underwhelming and the rhymes aren't quite as good in places as the main books. But still a great seasonal tale.

4.0 out of 5 stars Slinky Malinki Strikes Again, 14 Dec 2006
By A. East (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Slinky Malinki's Christmas Crackers (Hardcover)
Another Lynley Dodd book much loved by my two year old. Not quiet as good as the original Slinky but great illustrations and words as usual. A lovely book to read in the run up to Christmas!
