Kipper's Toybox

Product Information

I enjoyed Mick Inkpen’s repetitive counting, as this encourages children to count along with Kipper, involving them in the story.

This story, and all of these stories in the series, is about a lazy dog that doesn't really leave his bead. The children jump rope to the sounds of music as it floats through a neighbor’s window, gaze at stars in the night sky, and play hide-and-seek in the moonlight. When Kipper identifies the culprit he thinks his troubles are over - but in actual fact they are only just beginning.Mick Inkpen is the author of One Bear at a Time , Just Like Jasper , The Nativity Play and The School Trip . During this period he worked with Nick Butterworth, a fellow children’s author, from whom he learned design and typography. There are things in life that make you feel old; when the last Premiership footballer born the same year as you retires, or when their arresting officer looks like they don’t even shave. This is a used book - there is no escaping the fact it has been read by someone else and it will show signs of wear and previous use. When Kipper identifies the culprit he thinks his troubles are over - but in actual fact they are only just beginning!

So if you have a child read this and then get scared and stop encourage them to read to the end then they won't be scared anymore. Does the book contain anything that teachers would wish to know about before recommending in class (strong language, sensitive topics etc. The story is about Kipper discovering that his toy box has a hole in it and how he attempts to find the cause for it. He began his career as a graphic designer, declining a place to study English at Cambridge University.Soon, Kipper manages to get the right number of toys but then notices that his favourite toy ‘Sock Thing’ is missing and gets very upset.
