Kipper's Book of Opposites
Kipper's Book of Weather
Kipper's Book of Counting
These books illustrate perfectly just how difficult it is to free early concept books from confusion. For example, in the Opposites book is Kipper demonstrating a full balloon and a burst one or is he, as the text indicates, showing us a 'happy' Kipper and a 'sad' Kipper? My young reviewers picked up some similar 'for instances', so... a slightly mixed review, then. But, as with any books involving Mick Inkpen, these have been very popular and have hardly touched the shelves.
