Kipper's Monster (Get Well Friends)

I love reading these books with my kids. The Kipper stories are so gentle and even this one which is "scary" there's a sweet, kind humor that shows. I just wish that there were more than one collection or that more of the Kipper books were available in the US without having to purchase them from overseas and ship them.Still, this was a fun read for my little ones and a go-to nap time story book.

Nice story.

My daughters favorite book!Took a while to get i forgot it was coming lol but we all love it.

The children enjoyed it.

Excellent

We borrowed this one from the library. In this book, Tiger has a new torch (flashlight, for the non-Brits). He wants to try it out so Kipper and Tiger go for a camp-out in the woods. They are attempting to read a "scary" story, but then they hear a loud "SCREECH" in the woods. The noise is not explained in the book, although the pair guess that it must have been an owl that made the noise. Next a shadow appears on the tent wall. It turns out to be a snail - not scary at all! Finally, the two friends return home and read the book inside the house. Even though this book has a "safe" ending, the screech noise, "scary" book, and shadow on the tent wall did not make this a book that my 3 year old wanted to read again and again. Instead, after one or two readings, it sat on the table, unopened, until it was returned to the library. This is not one that I, personally, would buy.

My son loved this book. In fact, we picked it up at the library and I have to admit I was concerned about the "monster" thing. In fact, he loved it so much, I'm buying it for it. We gave our son a flashlight and later that evening we used the flashlight and got under the covers like Kipper and Tiger and he absolutely loved reading the book under the covers with the flashlight! I also used the flashlight to show him how to make shadow puppets, similiar to the snail shadow in the book. He thought all of it was way cool! We read it quite often. My son did not find it "scary" as the previous reviewer, but again, each child is different.

My children loved Kipper any now my grabd-daughter does and this story has a nice message that things aren't always as scary as they first seem.

bought these books for my granddaughter who lives in the USA and loves the Kipper dvd's. She loved all of them and they have rapidly become her favourite bedtime reading. She loves the illustrations and has great delight in showing them to me when we skype - yes we have reading time when skyping. I can see them being favourites for some time to come

Kipper books are brilliant. The illustrations and storylines are excellent and my grandaughter loves them. My grandson wants to eat them, that's how good they are. Mind you, he's only 8 months!!

Interesting story

I wouldn't hesitate to buy a 'Kipper' book. The story is well written and the illustrations are great. A big hit with my granddaughter and I never get bored reading it to her. The characters are lovely. What's not to love about Kipper?
