I is for Inkpen

ABOUT THE AUTHOR AND HIS TIMES

Mick Inkpen was born in 1952 in England and declined a spot at Cambridge to become a graphic designer. You may not recognize his name, but I am certain you recognize his creations. The most famous of his story characters is Kipper.

THESE STORIES ARE DELIGHTFUL!

When my children were babies, they loved the Kipper board books. I cannot tell you how many times they would grab one up and .

Mick Inkpen’s stories are perfect for babies and toddlers, as well as great for early readers. If you let your children watch TV, there are also some great Kipper cartoons out there as well.
