Customer Reviews

Great series of books

Ploo and the Terrible Gnobbler (Blue Nose Island) I first read one of these books at my son's pediatrician's office. I went home and ordered all three. They are so adorable, charming and clever. The art work is gorgeous. The stories hold our attention over and over, because there is nothing "formula" about them, these are very unique stories. I hope they make them into a movie.

Sweet and Clever

I bought this book because my almost 5-year-old son and I have both loved Kipper for years. We also have the Mick Inkpen Treasury, which includes our favorite bedtime stories. Mr. Inkpen is a genius of clever stories with soft, cuddly characters. He employs amusing words and the stories are unfailingly gentle and sweet, but at the same time very absorbing. I recommend this book particularly to anyone who loves to read bedtime stories to their children. The child will love it and it's so sweet and clever, you won't get tired of reading it night after night after night. I bought the book for my son, but I love it just as much and look forward to reading it to him.
