Splosh!

My son and I both love Kipper. The great thing about Kipper books is that you can get Kipper stories for any age child. The Little Kippers are short books, perfect for a 1.5 - 3 year old. Of course, the art work and the stories are appealing and sweet. That's true of everything Mick Inkpen has published.

My daughter who is two and a half years old keeping this book by her bed and we have to read it at least once before she goes to bed. It is a good book that allows you to have fun with your kid (making puddle sounds, rain dances as long as you can imagine you will not be bored)

My 2-1/2 year old twins really love Kipper. It began with the TV shows (which they adore and beg for EVERY NIGHT) but they love the Kipper books too. Gentle characters and appealing themes. They like this one because it's been a rainy winter in San Francisco and they can relate to the umbrella and rain. They are fascinated with themes of WET v. DRY so this book helps with those notions. I also think the girls enjoy this book because of the charming non-busy pictures, and the simple themes that they can understand. Kipper is great!

If your child enjoys watching Kipper on tv they will love the liitle kipper books. Especially Splosh! It is a sound effects book about the rain. And everytime in the book we get to the part where the rain drips drips drips off the hedgehogs nose and than the hedgehog says Ah-Ah-Ah-Tishoo, my two year old son laughs everytime. You will love them all.
