Amazon.com Review
This simple yet thoroughly delightful counting book, first published in Great Britain, is guaranteed to tickle your fancy. Kipper, an endearing beagle-like dog, introduces youngsters to two hedgehogs, three hamsters, four hens.… you get the idea. The placement of the animals on the double-page spreads makes it fun--but not too challenging--to count them. Mick Inkpen's playful, whimsical drawings make Kipper's Book of Numbers stand out from the acres of early counting books. (Picture book)

From School Library Journal
PreSchool-K?Lovable Kipper is back, this time in four concept books. The beauty of these titles is in their simplicity?bright primary colors and simple forms make them very appealing. In Colors, the brown-and-white dog flies a blue kite and eats red strawberries. In Numbers, he feeds four hens and digs holes with six moles. Opposites captures the happy-faced pup with a big balloon and his sad expression when it pops. Weather shows him basking in the sun and splashing in the rain. The lively watercolor illustrations lend themselves to simple one-on-one interaction or to use in toddler story hour. While concept books abound, Inkpen's engaging character and clear, clean presentations make these charming offerings stand above the crowd.?Helen Rosenberg, Chicago Public Library, IL

Customer Reviews

Cool, cute and original
Okay, so a book that shows the numbers one through ten is nothing to get really excited about. Still, I really loved this one. Kipper is very cute and he gets to count neat things. Most books count fire engines or dots. Boring. Kipper plays with snails, hedgehogs, and moles! Great illustrations. Fun!

my grandchildren love Kipper....my only question is what kind of dog do the readers think he is?? I can't seem to even find the answer on the internet.
