Book Description

Age Level: 2 and up | Series: Kipper

Amazon.com Review

Kipper, the TV star and well-loved, floppy-eared dog hero of Mick Inkpen's many books, loves bathtime. He blows bubbles, plays with his yellow duck, and--uh-oh--gets shampoo in his eyes! Early readers and reluctant bathers can help this pup wash out his eyes, find his ducky, and track down that bubble bath by pressing out the sturdy cardboard shapes and placing them in the appropriate indented spaces. Part jigsaw, part pop-up, this interactive book will be a hit with young kids, especially those who have snuck peeks at their older siblings' Kipper books, such as Honk! and Kipper's Book of Numbers. Love the press-out concept? Take a look at these Press Out and Play books: Kipper's Bedtime, Kipper's Playtime, and Kipper's Snacktime. (Ages 2 to 4) --Emilie Coulter --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

3.0 out of 5 stars Cute Book, Bad Format, February 7, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Kipper's Bedtime: [Press Out and Play] (Board book)

As usual, the story & illustrations are great but the "puzzle" pieces actually detract from this book. They are difficult for little hands to put back in properly (think inexpensive cardboard puzzles from the five & dime store) and after a bit fall out easily and get lost. It's a nice idea in theory but needs some work.... I'd stick with the basic books instead.

3.0 out of 5 stars Manufacturer's need to make the pieces easier to insert, November 2, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Kipper's Bedtime: [Press Out and Play] (Board book)

I bought this book for my 18 mo. old, not because of Kipper (he hardly watches TV so he doesn't even know who Kipper is) but because I like the concept of the puzzle pieces. He loves the book, but we always have a hard time fitting the pieces back into their spots. The moon doesn't even fit back into its spot, so it's usually missing from the book because it keeps falling out. Pretty annoying.

This review is from: Kipper's Bedtime: [Press Out and Play] (Board book)

THIS IS A LITTLE STURDY BOARD BOOK APPX 6 INCHES BY 6 INCHES. IT CONTAINS 5 STORY PAGES & 5 PAGES TO MATCH THE PUZZLE TO THE STORY. WHEN YOU OPEN THE BOOK THE FIRST & SECOND PAGES CONTAIN THE 5 PUZZLE PIECES TO GO ALONG WITH THE FOLLOWING STORY. WE DID NOT UNDERSTAND THIS BOARD BOOK PUZZLE CONCEPT UPON ORDERING BUT WERE HAPPILY SURPRISED, AS OUR 2 YR OLD BOY HELD THE PIECES AND ON THE SECOND READ KNEW TO MATCH UP EACH PIECE TO THE CORRECT PAGE. KIPPER & HIS BEDTIME PALS ARE COLORFUL & ADORABLE AND WE HAVE ALREADY ORDERED THE MATCHING BATHTIME-PLAYTIME & SNACKTIME. THE MOON PUZZLE PIECE HAS TO BE TURNED TO JUST THE RIGHT PLACE TO GET IN ITS PLACE -SUGGESTION THE MOON PIECE IS A CIRCLE AND THE PICTURE IN IT IS A HALF MOON IT FITS PERFECT WHEN THE YELLOW CRESENT IS ON THE LEFT HANGING AS IT WOULD IN THE SKY.
