“How about when Pinky got a big,
sloppy kiss from
Mr. Guinea Pig,
the musk ox?”
Pinky asked.
“No!” Tyler said.
“Mr. Guinea Pig is
a guinea pig!”
Mr. Guinea Pig made
a funny face.
“Did you like it when Pinky couldn’t
find her brain?” Pinky asked.
“No!” Tyler shouted.
“It was her shoes!
She couldn’t find
her shoes!”

“Wow, Tyler, you remembered
my story really well!” Pinky said.
“Pinky,” Tyler asked, “do you think
I’ll ever be able to make up stories
as good as yours?”
“Sure!” Pinky said.
“I bet you can make up a story, too!”

JIM JINKINS’S
earliest career
goal was to
be either a
forest ranger or
Tarzan. Instead, he moved
to New York City and
created television shows
for children, including the
popular Doug. And when
Jim’s two kids asked for a
bedtime story one night,
Pinky Dinky Doo was
born!
Jim lives in Waccabuc,
New York, with his lovely
wife, his children, and a
huge box of #2 pencils.
