Delve into the festive mischief with Slinky Malinki's Christmas 123 by Lynley Dodd, a captivating board book perfect for little learners. This delightful story is set during the magical Christmas season when Slinky Malinki, the cheeky and playful cat, has decided to cause a bit of holiday chaos. The mischievous feline has pilfered the Christmas tree decorations, and it’s up to young readers to join the fun and find them all!

With each turn of the page, children can engage in a merry countdown from 1 to 10 as they spot the missing decorations. The bright and lively illustrations of Slinky Malinki and his pilfered treasures offer a whimsical and enchanting learning experience that is as entertaining as it is educational. Lynley Dodd's signature artistic style brings every scene to life, making the hunt for the ornaments a joyful adventure.

Constructed with a durable hardback case and thick board pages, Slinky Malinki's Christmas 123 is designed to withstand the enthusiastic handling of young readers. The sturdy format ensures that this charming book will be a treasured part of your child's library for many Christmases to come.

This festive board book promises to generate giggles and warm the hearts of both children and adults. Especially for those who have their own stories of pets toppling Christmas trees, this book resonates with humour and fondness. It's an ideal present for any young child learning to count, blending seasonal cheer with early education.

About the Author

Lynley Dodd graduated from the Elam School of Art in Auckland with a diploma in Fine Arts, majoring in sculpture. She went on to teach art before taking a break to start a family. She began to work as a freelance illustrator and collaborated with author Eve Sutton on My Cat Likes To Hide in Boxes. There was no looking back as Lynley went on to write and illustrate her own books for children. Exuberant artwork and bouncy rhymes come together perfectly in books like Slinky Malinki and Hairy Maclary from Donaldson's Dairy. As well as being a visual delight, these are some of the most rewarding books for children and adults to read out loud. It comes as no surprise that, as a child, she adored Dr Seuss because of his 'crazy sounds and the fact that he took such liberties with the English language.' Other favourite authors included A A Milne and the fairy tales of The Grimm Brothers and Hans Christian Andersen. Today, Lynley is a big fan of Quentin Blake 'because of his humour and very clever art work.'
