Slinky Malinki

Slinky Malinki steals anything from a clothes peg, to a slipper, to a string of sausages, to a clock! Our hero is a BAD cat! The story is told in wonderful rhyme and through pictures full of life and movement. Readers are drawn into a bustling, comic night-time caper where a clever cat explores the world with a wag of the tail and a gleam in the eye.

Slinky Malinki Catflaps

Slinky Malinki wakes from a cosy sleep, stretches and slips out through the catflap and into the night. He’s soon joined by Greywacke Jones, Butterball Brown, the Poppadum kittens, and the rest of the gang. Hobnobbing happily on the wall, ten in a row, the cats are disturbed by the crotchety Scarface Claw. The rhymes flow with rhythm, and the lively pictures keep little readers turning pages with giggles.

Open the Door

When Slinky Malinki and Stickybeak Sid are left in the house on their own, they cause absolute mayhem by opening all the carefully shut doors in the house—and leave a trail of destruction from bathroom to bedroom to kitchen. This playful adventure showcases the chaos that follows a curious pair, all told in Lynley Dodd’s signature bouncy verse and energetic artwork that kids love to explore again and again.

Slinky Malinki's Christmas Crackers

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...’ This is Lynley Dodd’s cracking Christmas tale told in her characteristic rollicking rhyme. The festive fun and mischievous surprises make it a warm, seasonal favorite for family read-alouds and gift-giving during the holidays.

Early Bird

Lynley Dodd captures the essence of cat behaviour in her trademark rhythmic rhyme as Slinky Malinki rouses the family before dawn—and then promptly goes back to bed. Here’s a tasty taster: “He tipped over lamps and he sat on their heads, until he had pestered them out of their beds!” It’s a playful, relatable peek at morning mischief that echoes with every child who’s ever faced a wake-up call from a sleepy pet.
