      The article presents various picture books for children. "Tippintown: A Guided Tour." Let's all visit the imaginary place called Tippintown.

Rhyming text tells readers about the famous Amelia statue, the Tippin Museum of Art, Tippinoggin Mountain, Tippin Island, the Tippin aqueduct, Avenue T, the Tippinfeather Choir, and the Tippintown store. "Whales Passing," is a story of a young boy and his father stand on a cliff and watch killer whales in the ocean pass by. The boy fantasizes that the whales are talking about them.
