Youngest booklovers can interact with several new titles. Kipper the winsome pup stars in two touch and feel titles based on the books by Mick Inkpen. In Kipper's Surprise, textured fabrics help readers keep pace with Kipper on his way to a party (""Is he going to the beach?"" accompanies patches of scratchy sandpaper that comprise a sandcastle). In Kipper's Kite, the pooch dresses up in a ""woolly scarf"" and ""scrunch[es] through leaves"" on his way to the park.
