Mike Inkpen. Kipper's A to Z: An Alphabet Adventure. San Diego: Harcourt, 2003. $16.95. ISBN 0-15-202594-4.

Kipper, a dog, and Arnold, his frog friend, go on an adventure with a box waiting to have things put in it, reminiscent of any play day for a couple of tykes with good imaginations. The story is simple and appealing, with direct addresses to the reader-- ("Can you think of anything [that starts with K]?). As Kipper and Arnold encounter various bugs and animals, an impatient zebra keeps popping up to ask if it's time for it yet-a humorous touch children will enjoy. This is a well done alphabet book for beginners.
