Review:
This book was selected off the library shelf because we have a Kipper episode on a DVD. The kids spied the book cover and declared “Kipper!” in cute little 2 year-old voices, and it was added to the library basket.
Kipper is a friendly, easy-going dog. In this story Kipper builds a tree-house and his friend, Tiger (another dog), comes to visit.
When I think of lift-the-flap books I automatically think of Spot the Dog, and Kipper’s Tree House is as good as any Spot book. In traditional lift-the-flap style it offers clues, but hides the full picture, providing opportunities for interaction with the reader and the children being read to. “What is Kipper doing? Kipper is building a … (lift-the-flap) … tree house.” The children can try and guess the answer before the flap is lifted.
This is a pleasant and easy read for parents and children, whether or not they are already familiar with the Kipper character.
My rating: 4 out of 5
