Puffin Slinky Malinki, Open the Door

So funny- captures the attitude of a cat perfectly.... The illustrations are wonderful. My whole family loves this book.

I loved this book as a kid, and my niece loves it now too.

Another great Lynley Dodd book for kids, but it unfortunately arrived with the finish on the back cover damaged. Can't gift it. Would otherwise be 4/5 stars.

I absolutely love this book! I grew up with my mom reading me these books and when I had my first kid over three years ago my mom gave me this book. I was so excited to get this book then and then as I read this to my kids I realized I loved this just as much as I always have. My little boys love these books too! The rhyming and rhythm in this book is great and the story is clever and cute. There is a little bit of repetition that my sons likes, because then he can "read" along with me sometimes, but it isn't too much to drive me crazy. The artwork is great too and so there is a ton to look at every day.The author of this book, Lynley Dodd is brilliant and knows how to write a great story. She creates adorable characters, like Slinky Malinki, who are totally entertaining and sweet, I absolutely love these books and I have not found a kid yet who won't sit down with me to read these books. They all seem to find the books really entertaining and I totally understand why!

Ich habe dieses Buch in einem Kaffee gesehen und fand die englischen Texte in Reimform sehr lustig. Auch die Bilder sind sehr witzig.Auch wenn kleine Kinder die englische Sprache noch nicht verstehen, können sie doch schnell einige Zeilen, die sich wiederholen, mitsprechen.
