|  Based
on the adorable book series by Mick Inkpen, this video stars
Kipper the Dog. Fans of Kipper's friend Tiger will enjoy the theme
of this hour-long video--Tiger figures in each of its 7 episodes.
Kipper
and Tiger explore the great outdoors as they go skating, camping,
and even rowing. All sorts of surprises are waiting for the
lovable dogs--the river they navigate seems to be mercilessly
"wiggly", and it rains during their camping trip, for
example.
The pace of
Kipper episodes is unhurried--almost leisurely. Parents will find
the video comes in handy for unwinding time before naps and
bedtimes. Gentle lessons that help develop social skills are
almost always featured. These stories explore issues like
friendship and sharing, and they help young viewers see that there
is a way to solve every problem, even when life is filled with
little surprises.
Pros:
- Gentle lessons about
being a friend, solving problems, and sharing.
- Leisurely pace; fun
stories of Kipper's misadventures.
|
Cons:
- May be too slow-moving
for some children.
