This beautifully illustrated children's book explores the curiosity and antics of Slinky Malinki and his feathered friend, Syd the rainbow lorikeet, as they embark on a new escapade that could lead to more trouble than they anticipate.

Lynley Dodd's rhyming text and vibrant illustrations bring the characters to life, captivating young readers and encouraging them to join in the fun. The playful interactions between Slinky Malinki and Syd will have children laughing and eagerly turning each page to discover what happens next.

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.'
