First kipper: kipper's book of colours

Kipper first appeared on four legs 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 and he's been going from strength to strength ever since. Kipper's world is a world where anything can happen and he has enormous child appeal. He is a classic picture character now, loved by children the world over in the same way that Thomas the Tank or Peter Rabbit are loved. In this picture book, Kipper helps children learn about colours - red strawberries, orange pop, purple monster and grey elephants. Other titles in the series of boardbooks introduce the weather, counting and opposites.
