A Letter from the Creator of Pinky Dinky Doo: The main thing to know about Pinky Dinky Doo is that she loves to make up stories - outrageous, bizarre, silly stories. When Tyler has a problem - like when he can't find one of his shoes - Pinky dances her way to the storytelling box where she'll make up a really crazy story about pirates or aliens or having to wear salami for shoes! And you know what's so great? Every time kids make up their own story and use one of Pinky's great big fancy words, they become amazing storytellers and readers. Somehow, Pinky Dinky Doo's made-up stories always have a method to their madness. Every story has a strong beginning, middle, and end that are full of meaty metaphors, silly similes, and sometimes even a great take-home message about littering or what to do if you get lost. And every story has at least one Great Big Fancy Word like collaborate" or "environment" or "gracious" that kids will learn to use in their very own made-up stories! I'm really excited about Pinky Dinky Doo, where your kids are going to laugh, listen, think, and learn!"
