In this latest picture book in her Hairy Maclary and Friends series, Lynley Dodd captures the essence of cat behaviour with her trademark rhythm and rhyme as Slinky Malinki rouses the family before dawn - ("He tipped over lamps and he sat on their heads, until he had pestered them out of their beds!") - and then promptly goes back to sleep . . .
