Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Kipper's a to Z
Mick Inkpen · 2005
82/100
👍 Worth It
Mick Inkpen knows exactly how to talk to young children, and this alphabet book earns its starred Publishers Weekly recommendation. The interactive moment at K is the kind of detail that makes a read-aloud genuinely fun rather than just instructional, and the art is warm and expressive without being busy. A strong choice for preschool shelves.
