review 1: This book tells the story of Kipper and his Toy box. Kipper one day notices a hole in the corner of his toy box and is instantly worried that some of his toys may be missing. Kipper then empties all the toys from the toy box and begins to count them but has some trouble. Soon, Kipper manages to get the right number of toys but then notices that his favourite toy ‘Sock Thing’ is missing and gets very upset. Kipper eventually discovers that Sock thing is crawling towards him in the middle of the night and is very confused as none of his toys have ever come to life. He finds a small mouse inside Sock Thing; who has taken bits of the toy box to create a nest. Kind Kipper ends up sharing his toy box with the mouse, as it is very cosy on the inside with all the toys.I really... more like this story. It is a lovely read for early years children and can also be adapted for KS1 pupils. It has cross-curricular links so can be used in C&L or PRSN. It is engaging, very easy to follow and the illustrations are adorable, colourful and simple.
review 2: Kipper discovers a hole in his toybox. He counts them to make sure they are all there. What?! There's too many. The group had a lot of fun counting a long and pointing out sock thing. 1/25/12Well this did not work for the wide age range today. I had a couple older and some really young and the older boy was bored and disrupted the group. 12/13/14A little long for the young boy, but he loved counting less
