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.

My son and I love all the Kipper books, but this is anespecially nice one that led him to develop his own signs for rain andhail. Great as a "rainy day" or "snowy day" book when you can't go outside to play.

This review is from: Kipper's Book of Weather (Board book)

the Kipper books are all great and we especially love the little board book series (counting/numbers, colors, weather, opposites). For under age three I think you can't go wrong with these. If you are also doing early reading skills- these books are AWESOME. Calming but fun, colorful but clear, the illustrations are enjoyable for child and parent. Each page has one easy to read word on it. These are excellent first reading books.

This ones opens up communication about types of weather your child might not even now about yet (includes fog, hail), so they feel comfortable when they do experience it. Ends with a rainbow so you can practice colors too.
