Reviews

PreS-K-Cuddly Kipper pairs with another canine friend, Tiger, for challenges leading to happy endings in both of these trim tales. In Picnic, the pals encounter rowdy pigs, hungry ants, and wasps before finally settling on an all-apple lunch. The scenes for Thing! are more interesting and humorous, although enterprising readers may be disappointed if they try to reenact the activities. In both stories, loose ends are neatly tied up. Inkpen's language and rhythm sometimes mimic A. A. Milne, attaining a quaint tempo. The illustrations are precious as always, with rounded cartoon figures that always appear to be on the verge of smiling.-Gay Lynn Van Vleck, Henrico County Library, Glen Allen, VA
