Kipper's Toybox
Kipper, the puppy, makes a welcome return in this charming counting book. Mick Inkpen's wonderfully expressive illustrations show Kipper at his most bewildered as his toys grow and diminish in number in the toy box which has mysteriously developed a hole. When Sock Thing appears to come to life and inches ever closer, there is nothing for us but to hide behind Big Owl. The climax to the story challenges all budding mathematicians. This is another 'Please read it again' book and will complement the rest of the Inkpen titles that scarcely ever stay on the bookshelves.
