Rating: Summary: Highly recommended! Review: I have 2o month old twin boys and when I get this book out, they both are so excited. Each page is filled with"sing- songy" words that have such a nice sound. And each has a suprise under a flap.The ending is so nice also. I would highly recommend this book.
Rating: Summary: an exceptional lift-the-flap book with a sweet story Review: Kipper is looking for his teddy bear. Is it in the apple tree? No! Birds come flying out instead. Thus begins our odyssey into Kipper's world -- populated with mice, pigs and moon people (among others). Pop-ups are activated by lifting flaps and manipulating tabs. The latter may be difficult for young children, but they will most likely enjoy the action anyway. The little surprise at the end is charming and sure to bring a smile to your little one's face. Exceptionally well done. Caveats: A few of the flaps are flimsy, so be careful if your child is rough on them. Kipper's usual friends (Pig, Arnold and Tiger) do not show up in the story.

Rating: Summary: This book is fun Review: My 2 year old loves this book. I don't let him look at it by himself as I fear it would not last, but he wants it read to him several times a week (and he has about 100 books)! I let him operate many of the flaps now that it is a little broken in and he thinks they are hillarious. The little flashlight at the end of the book keeps him guessing. We always turn out the light and he puts his finger over the flashlight to make his finger light up. It is a lot of fun to read, especially if you like the kipper cartoon series. Nice and gentle bed time reading too, not too stimulating. One of the very best of the kipper book series.
Rating: Summary: Absolutely adorable!! A must have!! Review: My mom bought this book for my son when he was about 18 months old. It was one of his favorites until he was about 4 years old. It's probably too young for ages over 5. But for under 5 it is the cutest book I've seen. The pictures are great. It is very interactive with awesome pop-ups. And the ending is just so unique. I highly recommend this book. My 3 year old loves it now. I'm online right now to buy a copy for my niece/nephew-to-be.
Rating: Summary: What a Charmer! Review: Okay, I'm a sucker for pop-up books and a sucker for cute pups, so this one really couldn't miss for me. But this is a really cute pop-up and with the little light shining at the end....well, I can't imagine a child not falling for this book. Of course, if the battery burns out, a lot of the book's attraction fails...but that should be some time down the road.

Rating: Summary: A really sweet book, even if you don't watch the show Review: The pop-ups are beautifully done, and really appeal to my 16 mo old son, and he just loves the little flashlight revealed at the end of the story -- one to add to the list of classics on the bookshelf which have fun effects, like Eric Carle's work. To describe Kipper -- he is the most adorable, laid-back dog. Lifes events are taken in stride with great good humor, and lessons aren't IN your face like in Barney type shows. Kipper's A to Z is another wonderful alphabet book, and is one of his favorites too!. He has learned to say bee, bzz like a bee, duck, quack, and strangely enough -- the word Happy from that book! He likes to keep saying moon and doggie to this one :-) Enjoy it! As an update, he is now 3 1/2 and took this book to show and tell one day. The flaps and pull outs still work so its a sturdy, simple, engaging book. The theme of being able to go to sleep even without your favorite item that you are obsessing about is also reassuring. (Kipper falls asleep, and we find teddy was reading a book at his feet under the covers with a flashlight) You know that Kipper will wake up in the morning and find his teddy.

Rating: Summary: Charming book (even for myself) !! Review: The title " A Pop-Up Book With Light " interest me in buying this book. I always like to look at children's book, because they're so innocent and simple. When I check it out myself, I found the illustration very funny and the ending is surprising. So I read it to my 10 months-old son and he wanted me to open the book again and again. He never did that with any other books. He seemed to be amused with the story and the pop-up pictures. My son and I really enjoy this book, and I want to hold on to it for my future kids to read. I just wish Mick Inkpen would create more of this type of book in the future...
