Kipper and Arnold are seeking items (mostly in nature) that start with different letters of the alphabet. Zebra pops up here and there asking if it is his turn yet. Some humor and a bit of a story accompany most of the letters although, some letters are simply represented.

Ages 3-5.

All of the Kipper books (like the series) are excellently written. The images are simple for young eyes to capture the essential details and the text is a good size and simple to follow without being dumbed-down. Kipper stories are always fun, humorous, and they show Kipper to be a good friend who can laugh, but is not mean. I still love Kipper, even though my daughter has grown. He is curious and gentle. Thank you, Mick Inkpen!

In Kipper's A to Z, Kipper and his friend Arnold have an adventure that covers the letters A to Z. Each letter is represented by an element that is introduced into the story, such as Z for Zebra. The author uses simple illustrations with light shading to create depth, which results in some charming illustrations. The letters A to Z are always presented in large font with both capital and lowercase letters. This makes the book a great resource for teaching children about the alphabet while being entertaining at the same time. Humor is injected throughout the book through the zebra character, who is constantly asking if it is his turn yet to enter the story. The story occasionally calls for interaction from the reader, like when it asks the audience what K could stand for (the answer is, of course Kipper himself)
