Slinky Malinki

My 4 year old and I love this book! It rhymes in a non cheesy way and the story is so cute! I don’t mind reading it over and over again :)

Your children and you will love the personalities of these animals in this series of books! They were our daughter’s favorites and now she and I buy them for her friend’s children and my friend’s grandchildren. After 20 years, we can still recite many of them. Pure enjoyment!

Another classic from Lynley Dodd. It’s so fun to read; it’s well-written with great vocabulary for kids to learn. I love reading it to my son and he gets so excited each time (almost every day!).

I have to admit I am a fan of Lynley Dodd. All of her books were favourites with both our children when they were younger and made perfect night time stories and then helped with them learning to read through repetition on certain phrases. They are really easy to read with charming simple rolling rhymes which are super easy to make fun for your child. It seems they are no longer in print as I have been trying to buy all of them so my soon to be first grandchild will gain the same benefit that both my daughters did. I believe that if you read to your children from the very first days you will start to instill in them a true love for reading and a considerably more colourful imagination. Slinky Malinky is a tale of skulduggery from an unexpected source, I just know this is going to be a firm favourite! Another great book for bedtime!

This is a a great little rhyming book that all the many children I have shared it with really enjoy.
