Summary: Tippintown full of life; tour amuses and delights
Review: Calef Brown's latest book is awesome. It's a celebration for an imaginary town and will make you wish you could live there. I first heard about it through Publisher's Weekly, it got a rave review, comparing Brown's prose to Edward Lear, his art to Picasso! And I have to say, it didn't disappoint! Your kids will love this one! My niece especially loves the triple-canoe...you will love reading this--maintains its appeal through the obligatory repeated readings!

Summary: neat book
Review: Tippintown is a fanciful journey into the most unsual town. We are introduced to the oddities of the town through a whimsical, rhyming tour guide. A child's giggle box could easily be turned over through the imaginative illustrations and the outrageousness of the tour's guide description of the town, its people and their wild day-to-day adventures in life. The poetry seems to be choppy at times and its use seems to be unnecessary. The child is too drawn into the pictures to really focus on the poetry. This book is recommended to any family who enjoys to laugh at the silliness of stories like Alice in Wonderland.
