Where, Oh Where, Is Kipper's Bear?
Mick Inkpen
Hardcover
(Hodder Children's Books, Oct. 6, 1994)
Where Oh Where is Kipper's Bear? He looks in holes and under blankets; he asks mice, piglets and even the "pinky purple Bleeper People living on the moon." Mick's endearing characters lend a peaceful, childlike charm to this friendly bear hunt, which ends with a neat surprise. Even if Kipper goes to bed empty-handed, readers will locate the teddy right under Kipper's toes (under a lift-the-flap blanket, at the foot of his bed), holding a flashlight that, when the flap is lifted, really does light up.
