Editorial Review:
Kipper's A to Z by Mick Inkpen is a fantastic alphabet book which is beautifully illustrated and will not fail to engage young readers.
The reader is introduced to Kipper and his friend Arnold who find an ant which they put into a box. They then go in search of other things to go into the box and work their way through the alphabet. This is much more than just an alphabet book.
Children will enjoy Kipper and Arnold's search. Each page has the continuation of the story and a capital and small letter and words that begin with that letter. The layout of the pages is imaginative and varied and children will delight in reading this book and finding the words that begin with each letter. The attention to detail is brilliant as the word buzzzzzzz stretches across the page after the bee and the ant makes a reappearance later on in the alphabet. The Zebra makes several appearances, desperate to be included, but he is told it is not his turn yet!
Kipper's A to Z would be invaluable to anyone who is helping their child to learn the alphabet and letter sounds and the text means that it will still be read long after children have mastered the alphabet. This book would be suitable for 4-7 year olds and it deserves a place on every bookshelf and is sure to become a battered well-loved book. --Amanda York

Great value for this bigger than average `A-Z' from Kipper and friends, with more dimensions than first expected! It begins with an Ant, continues with a Bee who `buzzes' across the `Bb' page with zzzzzz also being appropriate as he buzzes off and away on the `Cc' page.......to reappear in `Zz' on the last page, where Arnold's `little ZOO' has accumulated! This delightful book begins with an adorable page with Kipper telling the Zebra that he doesn't need him until much later!
Undaunted, the Zebra hopefully reappears on other pages!

This is a top rate childrens book I bought this book for my baby last year, it gives you so much more than a normal A to Z book. It's an educational book, but a fun storey at the same time. We both love reading it and he doesn't realize he's learning. I recommened this book to all parents.
Cleverly teaches the alphabet within a Kipper story. If you are a Kipper fan then this book is a must-have, and if you aren't then it's a good way to become one. This is a fantastic way to teach children their A-Z with Mike Inkpen's beautiful appealing illustrations. This book takes a sensible but rare approach to the alphabet, looking at each letter in turn within a good story. Kipper and his friend Arnold have a box which they are trying to fill with something beginning with each letter. Ant is easy, and then you'll spend the rest of the book looking out... more info
Favourite with mum too! Kipper's A to Z is a delightful book which unlike most children's alphabet books doesn't take itself too seriously. It follows Kipper and Arnold through their world while they search for creatures to put in their alphabetical zoo box (unsuprisingly, the enormous elephant won't fit) cheating horribly along the way (X is for Xugglybug?!). It even features a rather impatient zebra who just won't wait until the end of the book. This had me laughing as much as my two-year-old.
