Pinky Dinky Doo is an animated children's television series created by Jim Jinkins.

The series was made in association with Discovery Kids Latin America, and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (season 1).

At the end of each episode, both Pinky and Tyler invite the viewers to play a series of games on their cheese sandwich handheld, which typically questions the audience on what happened in a story.

It also addresses problem-solving skills as well as the basics of narrative stories—character, dialogue, plot, details, main idea, and sequence of events.

This series was created by Jim Jinkins, who originally made up Pinky's adventures as bedtime tales for his children.

Larisa Wiseman of Common Sense Media rated the series four stars out of five, calling it "enlightening as well as silly, funny, and entertaining."

"[19] Entertainment Weekly's Eileen Clarke gave the show a grade of 'A,' saying it "embraces storytelling and revs up the imagination—so it certainly pays to think Pink for a while."
