Hairy Maclary Scattercat

 By Lynley Dodd

We've been going on a Slinky Malinki binge lately.  We had this in the house for twelve hours and it was read at least twelve times.

 Each page has a different cat that Hairy Maclary chases.  Each cat has a goofy double barrel name. A naming practice I had previously assumed was limited to Australians.

I found my daughter curled up on the couch reading the book aloud to herself, having memorized most of it.  She couldn't remember the names, though, so she made them up.  "Mamsy Pamsy" and "Anto Panto" etc.  SO ADORABLE.
