Mick Inkpen is now one of the top-selling picture book artists and writers in the world. The Kipper and Wibbly Pig stories have millions of readers worldwide. He is the winner of the British Book Award for the best illustrated book, for Lullabyhullaballoo, and the Children's Book Award for Threadbear. He's also been shortlisted for the Smarties Award three times. In addition to this, Kipper won a BAFTA for best animated children's film in 1998.
In their latest collaboration, Butterworth and Inkpen ( I Wonder at the Zoo ; Just Like Jasper ) bring back the amiable feline character, who found a bean on Monday. On Tuesday, Jasper planted his bean; on Wednesday he watered it; and on Thursday "he dug and raked and sprayed and hoed it." On each successive day--and spread--the busy fellow tends his would-be beanstalk. But when no growth appears in a week's time, Jasper digs up the bean and tosses it over his shoulder, lamenting, "That bean will never make a beanstalk." Youngsters will be as thrilled as this hero himself to discover that his pronouncement is wrong. As the cat sits reading the well-known tale of another successful beanstalk cultivator, a small bird informs Jasper that a leafy stalk is growing outside his window. With its basic concept, large-scale pictures, spare text and oversize typeface, this satisfying though slender story is a good choice for preschoolers as well as for children just beginning to read on their own. Ages 3-6.
