5.0 out of 5 stars beautifully illustrated book that our toddler loves
Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2010

Hard to find Kipper books here in the US, but our son loves this character because he watched him on our Netflix instant queue. I knew Amazon would have this for sale. Great book for bedtime because the last page shows Kipper sleeping and all sorts of animal friends telling the reader, "shhhh". Thin pages are not suited for younger hands, but adults can hold it and read easily. Has a page in the front to write your child's name as the book's owner.

Great book!!!! My daughter and I both love it!!! Kipper throws out his old stinky blanket but then can't find a new bed and ends up using his old blanket again. My daughter has an old blanket she's attached to so she could relate to this story and this is her favorite book. A great, cute story for a toddler. My daughter is two and a half. Totally recommend!!!

This book was a gift for my son who LOVES Kipper the Dog. This particular story is very amusing and my son loved it. It's a great book for anyone who has kids who love Kipper. Sadly, there are none of the other characters (Tiger, Jake, Pig, Arnold) from the TV show or other books, but it's still an enjoyable read.

Our 3.5 y.o. was introduced to Inkpen's best-known character, Kipper-the-dog, on television (oh, the shame), so I've bought several of the books to reflect our love of reading, and beginning with this one, they're all great. Big, bright, accessible paintings of Kipper and his friends and surroundings, excellent short simple stories, and nice messages are a huge hit with the whole family.

The Kipper books are wonderful! The length is perfect for young ones with short attention spans. With the colorful illustrations and delightful story, Kipper has quickly become my son's favorite book. Great for a bedtime story since Kipper is in search of a new bed!

Found Kipper on Netflix, and our 2 1/2 year old is smitten. And it's pretty much the only show I don't mind on in the background because there's just something so soothing about it. Same thing goes for the books. This is a short one but keeps my son happy. Glad to have it in our collection.

My granddaughter loves Kipper and this book is one of her favorites. She asks me to read it several time a day. I use a British accent when I read what Kipper says and she loves it.

I bought it for my granddaughter and she loves it. She loves all the Kipper books I buy her. Shes only three, but she recreates her favorite parts about the books over and over again.

I needed this book for a Reception RE lessons on special places and couldn't believe out of all the Mick Inkpen books we have in the house we didn't have this one and nor did we have it in school! Found it on Amazon and the book was dispatched quickly and was just as described.
It's a really sweet story following along the lines of Kipper looking for a different special place but by the end of the story deciding his basket was the place to be!

4.0 out of 5 stars Kipper décide de ranger son panier
Reviewed in France on January 31, 2011
Verified Purchase
Kipper décide de ranger son panier plein de jouets avec sa vieille couverture... il commence par tout jeter: tout ce qui est sale, tout ce qui sent le chien, tout ce qui est usé, tout ce qu'il a trop mâchonné... Il cherche ensuite un autre endroit où dormir. Mais après de multiples essais infructueux, il finit par revenir à son panier et à y remettre tout ce qu'il avait enlevé au début parce qu'on n'est jamais mieux que dans son panier, finalement...

Ce livre marque le début de la série Kipper. Tendre et malicieux comme tous les Kipper, il n'est pas encore tout à fait aussi bien que d'autres qui le suivront. Dés le début, Mick Inkpen est un incontournable auteur de livres pour enfant. Les Kipper et les Wibbly Pigs sont irrésistibles. Dommage qu'on ne les trouve pas d'avantage en français et que la série animée Kipper the Dog n'ait jamais été traduite en français à ma connaissance... Mais d'un autre côté, ce sont de bons supports pour apprendre l'anglais à nos enfants...

My son's favorite book as a baby. Beautiful illustrations on white background of favorite animals keep little ones enthralled and the 'Shhhh' at the end had him giggling. Story is the perfect length to keep attention and I don't get bored of reading it either.

We bought a "Kipper Kit" for our grandson, remembering how much our own son had loved Kipper. And now the new little three year old also loves Kipper, watching videos, reading books and taking his Kipper soft toy to bed.
