Media Reviews
As always with Mick Inkpen's books, the illustrations are a delight, appealing with a touch of fun. -- Newbury Weekly News Kipper opens his cornflakes and discovers treasure inside. A plastic wrinkly thing, which turns out to be the biggest, most beautiful beach ball ever. Kipper is an endearing dog which appeals to most young children. -- Family Interest Magazine I thought Kipper's Beach Ball was really good and I loved it a lot. I loved it when the ball went from being little and turned into a big shiny beachball. I loved the bit when the ball was taken away by the wave and I hope that Kipper gets a ball in the next box of cornflakes. -- Louis aged 5, Zemba magazine 20040604 This is another lovely story by Mick Inkpen that will delight under fives and make grown ups chuckle too! -- Bury free press 20040507 Kipper has touched a chord with children and parents alike. - Practical Parenting Kipper is rather lovely. The stories are gentle, amusing and more-ish. - - Guardian 20040507
