Kipper's A to Z in a great way to introduce young children to their ABC's. The simple illustrations are sweet and the kids enjoy finding bugs on each page. It has some unpredictable pages like, "Xx is for Xugglybug!" It also has a few fun predictable pages like, "Zz is for Zebra". I like how it shows the uppercase and lowercase letters. This could be a topic of discussion when teaching the ABC's to young children. We could discuss uppercase and lowercase letters. We could also talk about how different words start with different letters. Mick Inkpen has created an alphabet adventure sure to please young children. It would be best in the classroom for the younger grades.

I think this book is an informational fantasy because it has animals that talk, but it is also very informative. This books creatively goes through the the alphabet naming different items and animals from A to Z. It is fun and silly. They use Kipper the dog who is well known from T.V. And other books. The pictures are great too because they are not too busy and show only what is focused on. ( )

In my opinion, the book " Kipper's A to Z" was a great book for young readers who are becoming more familiar with the alphabet. I really liked that this book included the lowercase and capital form of each letter. This gets the reader familiar with the different ways that the letter can be written depending on where it is located in a sentence. I also liked that the text was written in large print so that the letters were emphasized and the reader was focusing on the text. Each page was also very simplistic which is appealing to young readers and makes the words easier to read. I also liked how the illustrations were very simple. Most pages just had Kipper and his pig friend Arnold, along with one or two other characters and white space in the background. Again, this helps the reader to focus on the text and not become distracted by any busy illustrations. The big idea of the story was to teach young children about the alphabet. ( )

This book went through each letter of the alphabet accurately in a fun, interesting way that kids could relate to. The main character, Kipper is a puppy that goes through all things that start with the letters of the alphabet. It was cute because he named off animals that they became friends with along the way, such as the Zebra that they could name when it finally came to the 'Z'. This is a great book for kids to learn the alphabet because they could identify with the things being named and also think of things that they themselves know to start with certain letters. Such as, when it came to the letter 'B' the book mentions a box and bumblebee but a child reading this book could also think of other things such as blue or bike. ( )

My 2 year old son really enjoyed looking at the pictures and large, eye-appealing ABCs in this book. A great book for an uppercase/lowercase lesson or any ABC theme. It has the potential to be very interactive. ( )
