Kipper's Christmas Eve
Kipper can't decide which he likes better, Christmas Eve or Christmas  Day. But on Christmas Eve, too excited to decide, he just whoops and charges  into the woods to find a Christmas tree. After much effort, he pulls his chosen  tree out of the ground and begins to drag it home, meeting his friend Pig and  Pig's little cousin, Arnold, along the way. Kipper and Pig are too wrapped up in  their discussion of what they want for Christmas to notice the little something  extra Kipper is bringing home with his tree! But Arnold sees, and spends the  rest of the day trying to point it out to an oblivious Kipper.Mick Inkpen's Kipper, star of theNick Jr.TV show and many Kipper books  (Kipper's Bathtime,  (Kipper's Snowy Day, and  lots more), is as cute and lovable as ever in this Christmas book. Young readers  will identify with his excitement as he decorates his tree, exchanges presents,  and dreams about Santa Claus. And they'll chuckle with delight as they watch the  mousy little guest Kipper brings home nibbling on Santa's cookies. A reindeer  hat with a glowing red nose, Kipper's gift to Arnold, makes a fun surprise  appearance in the inside back cover, as Arnold peers out his window with a real  red light flashing on his head.
