Will Slinky Malinki and Syd the Rainbow Lorikeet open the door to more trouble than they can handle

Slinky Malinki, a mischievous cat, and Stickybeak Syd, a bird, get into lots of trouble when they are left alone in the house.

Slinky Malinki likes to wake up very early in the morning. He thinks his family should too, but do they agree?

"Hairy Maclary felt bumptious and bustly, bossy and bouncy and frisky and hustly" Hairy Maclary, everyone's favourite dog, is busy chasing and hustling all the neighbourhood cats from Slinky Malinki to Pimpernel Pugh. But when he comes face to face with Scarface Claw, the toughest tomcat in town, it's Hairy Maclary's turn to be bustled, rustled and hustled!

Something was happening down in the park;such a yapcould be heard,such a blusterous bark.Hairy Maclary causes trouble again when he is simply not in the mood for the Kennel Club's Obedience Class. He feels mischievous and mad and not only does he scamper away but all his friends - Bottomley Potts, Muffin McLay, Hercules Morse, Schnitzel von Krumm and the rest follow 'Galloping here, galloping there, rollicking, frolicking everywhere'!

Slinky Malinki is an adventurous cat, cheeky and cheerful, friendly and fun. But at night he becomes a thief. First published in 1990, Slinky Malinki is the first adventure of Lynley Dodd's famous rapscallion cat. This is the board book edition of the classic picture book.

The Christmas tree is decorated and looking beautiful until Slinky Malinki gets involved. And what has happened to the fairy on top of the tree?
