Kipper's Book of Colors: Kipper Concept Books

My daughter likes Kipper. This book only has the word color and then stuff that color on the page along with Kipper. Pretty simple but very cute. It is a board book so she can teethe on it and not hurt it.

This book is so simple it can be described as twenty pages, ten words, and lots of white space. So why, you may ask, is it worth five big stars? For one, the illustrations are big, bright, fun, fully representative of the color being shown, and are all of Kipper the Dog. For two, it is suitable from birth to first reading, as it's never too early to start your child on the reading track. For three, it's the first book my four year old has read on his own, spelling the letters, sounding it out, and then proudly coming up with the right words. That makes it priceless. My one teeny tiny little gripe is that the style of lettering used for those important ten words is different to what is being taught in nursery school. The "a" that he learned is more like a circle with a stroke, the "g" in the book is the one with the closed loop at the bottom, and the "W" in the book looks like two overlapping "V"s. However, after we explained that some letters can look different sometimes, he had no problems whatsoever. Deceptively simple but fiendishly clever. Amanda Richards, April 10, 2005

This book has wonderful pictures that really engage children. I especially enjoy the picture for the color "white". Kipper is surrounded in a cloud of flour....my kids (2 1/2 and 5 years old) thought that it was very funny! The book teaches colors in a simple and fun way!

This whole little series of books (opposites, weather, colors and numbers) is really well done, but this one is special to me as it's the first book my younger son (age 2) has really fallen in love with. He took it into his nap with him today! He loves best the page about orange, where Kipper is drinking what looks like orange soda with a very long crazy straw. I like the teddy bear page for brown, with all shapes of cute teddy bears! I'm glad the TV show led us to Kipper books!
