Summary: Good wholesome books
Review: A great book that my 2 year old loves and knows off by heart!.
It flows wonderfully as do all of Lynley Dodds books. With colourful simplistic pictures. We have the video too which is a huge hit. ....

Summary: Fantastic Book!
Review: I discovered Lynley Dodd on a recent trip to New Zealand and my 4 year old daughter cannot get enough of her books! Slinky Malinky Open the Door is by far both of our favorite. We have given this book as a gift to almost all of the children in our family.

Summary: Not out of print in Australia
Review: I see it in the bookshop regularly! Slinky Malinki and his friend Stickybeak Sid (a rainbow lorikeet) get up to all manner of mischief when alone in the house: Slinky malinki and stickbeak Sid were a troublesome pair; do you know what they did? Alone in the house one mischievous day, they opened a door and they started to play. I have not met a child yet who doesn't respond to the beautiful rhythm of the language and the sense of fun in the Lynley Dodd books. There is just the right amount of repetition in the rhymes to create a sense of anticipation. The illustrations are lovely, and Slinky really does have a mischievous glint in his eye! He is NOT drawn as a "human" - he is all-cat, but wow, those expressions, depicted through eyes, paws and the hair standing on end!

Summary: Slinky Malinki Opened the Door (to:)
Review: My son adores this book, along with most of Lynley Dodd's books. He delights in telling what door Slinky Malinki is opening (to the bathroom, closet, office, kitchen, etc) and used to shout "Oh! A dog!" every time at the end. It is really delightfully written in a flowing rhyme with refrains. Memorable and enjoyable for all.

Summary: We love it.
Review: Our four-year old daughter recently received this book (and Hairy Maclary, also by Dodd) for her birthday. We all love it. It is fun to read, has lovely rhythm and the illustrations are great. She has requested it everyday since and I'm still not tired of it. Highly recommended.
