Slinky Malinki, Early Bird

Slinky Malinki is a mischievous feline who loves to start his day before everyone else. In Slinky Malinki, Early Bird, Lynley Dodd brings us another delightful adventure with this audacious cat. As the early bird, Slinky Malinki is determined to rouse the entire household from their slumber, no matter the cost. This persistent cat uses every mischievous trick in the book—perching on heads, nibbling on toes, and pouncing on limbs—creating a commotion that no one can ignore.

Through rhythmic text and charming illustrations, Dodd captures Slinky Malinki's playful antics and the sleepy family's responses. Young readers will be enthralled by the rhymes and the vivid character of Slinky Malinki. Parents will appreciate the beautiful illustrations that accompany the text, making it an engaging read-aloud book. This tale is not just about a pesky cat, but it's also a gentle reminder of the joys of early mornings and the bond between pets and their owners.

Once Slinky Malinki finally succeeds in getting everyone up, he reveals his comically true intentions, adding an element of surprise and laughter to the story. The book is perfect for children who enjoy humorous and lively tales. It's a delightful addition to any child's library, and a must-read for fans of Lynley Dodd's beloved characters.
