Reviews
PreS-Gr 1-- Told in rhyme, this is the story of a slinky black cat who prowls at night and becomes a thief. After his loot is discovered, he decides to stay home nights. While there's nothing wrong with this book, there's nothing to recommend it, either. The text is somewhat workmanlike, with very precise rhythm but not much charm. The full-color illustrations lack the personality needed to draw children into the story or to make Slinky an interesting character. Quite simply, the cat steals stuff, then stops. It's hard to imagine many preschoolers who would sit through the whole book. There's just nothing to it.-- Christine A. Moesch, Buffalo & Erie County Public Library

GREAT kids book for all ages! All my kids love this book and I have fun reading it to them.Right from the start,Slinky Malinki was blacker than black a stalking and lurking adventurous cat.He had bright yellow eyes,a warbling wail and a kink at the end of his very long tail....now follow on to find out what this mischife cats gets up to at night.
I love Slinky Malinki. This is a new childrens book which has already become both a favourite and a classic, and Lynley Dodd keeps writing these wonderful rhyming stories as well. Slinkyt Malinki is one to own and place on the keeper shelves for your children and grandchildren. Wonderfully illustrated too.
this was definately one of my favs! Lynley Dodds books are fantastic, these were my favourite child hood story books, Hairy McClary from donaldson dairy, schnitzel von crumb with the very low tum, and especially scar face claw! he was definately the best though! anyway back on topic, these books are absolutely great any child should read them!
Slinki Malinki is a fantastic book about a wonderful cat who will appeal to all preschoolers. This is great fun for adults to read to children as the author's use of words makes it a delight. My three year old can recite it word for word and still chortles with glee when Slinki Malinki gets caught being naughty. This is an all time bedtime favourite in our household.
Great book. My daughter loves it we finish and she wants to ready it again. Easy to read as it rhymes for when you are half asleep!!!
