Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreSchool-These four concept books featuring the lovable pup on each page will be sure hits with both toddlers and older children who will recognize Kipper from earlier picture books and the current TV series. In each title, Inkpen presents familiar objects and introduces new vocabulary as well. For example, in Numbers youngsters count frogs, snails, and hedgehogs; in Weather, they are exposed to wind, sunshine, fog, and hail. All of the watercolor-and-ink illustrations are neatly arranged against an ample white background. The minimal text on each page make these offerings perfect choices for lap-sit programs and as "fill ins" between longer stories at preschool storytimes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cool, cute and original, September 19, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Kipper's Book of Numbers: Kipper Concept Books (Hardcover)

Okay, so a book that shows the numbers one through ten is nothing to get really excited about. Still, I really loved this one. Kipper is very cute and he gets to count neat things. Most books count fire engines or dots. Boring. Kipper plays with snails, hedgehogs, and moles! Great illustrations. Fun!
