`In January Kipper took a picture with his new camera and made a New Year Resolution,
`This year I will not throw any snowballs at Tiger.'
And for a whole month he kept his promise......
Because the snow did not fall until February!
An icicle grew on Kipper`s house.
It lasted for three weeks and grew to 87 centimetres.
Kipper took a photograph.
In March the wind flapped Kipper's ears. It straightened his scarf and scruffled the daffodils on Big Hill.
Then it blew Tiger right off his feet.

This is the picture that Kipper took.
Soon the pond in the park was full of croaking and wriggling and glooping and jiggling.
`March is the froggiest month,' said Kipper.
`But April is best for catching tadpoles.
By May there was blossom on the pavements thick enough to kick, and three ducklings in the park............'
This delightful book ends with a scrapbook of the photographs and Kipper and Tiger debating their favourite one!
Sure to be a perennial favourite - Rated
This is the story of Kipper and his best friend Tiger as they amble through the months of a year taking pictures of the fun they have together. Each month they take a photo which has a flavour of the month in question so it is a good way for a child 2-5 to pick up the sequence of the year through snow, daffodils & tadpoles to blackberries, conkers and a beautiful misty moon in a cold November. After being snowballed by Kipper in February Tiger has to wait some time to take his turn. Its 1-1 at the end of December but my children are amused by the very last picture in the book where Kipper has a significantly larger snowball behind his back. This book is gently amusing and softly-paced - rather like Kipper's A-Z - perfectly pitched at preschoolers and reception level children. Obviously the book ends with December so it would be a lovely Christmas gift but it has an all-year-round applicability and definitely isn't a book you'd be packing away with your decorations. A hit in our house.
