Kipper's monster - Mick Inkpen

Where's the best place to try out the most powerful torch there is? Kipper and Tiger decide that it must be in the middle of the woods at the bottom of Big Hill. But just what is that big animal with horns that they can see on the other side of the tent? Perhaps it would be safer to camp in Kipper's room?

Kipper first appeared on four legs in 1989 in the Mick Inkpen timeless picture book The Blue Balloon. The picture book, Kipper, first published in 1991, made him the star of the show. He is now a classic picture character now, loved by children the world over in the same way that Thomas the Tank or Peter Rabbit are loved.

There is a whole range of Kipper books to choose from. classic picture books, TV tie in picture books, novelty board books, sticker books, pop up books and much much more.

Kipper is on CITV: the new animation series is due to broadcast in autumn 2000 with repeats of past series starting in the summer.

Kipper's animation series has been awarded the BAFTA award for best children's animation.

Kipper is everyone's favourite puppy!
