Kipper's New Pet

We have been enjoying our next story 

all about Kipper . . . 

This great book starts off with another birthday - this time it is Pig's special day!

Pig writes a list of some of the presents he would like to receive.

We talked about the type of 'lists' we have been writing this week in preparation for our Toys party.

Kipper chose a hamster from the list - Jenson told us "I've got a hamster at home - he's called Cookie!"

The children enjoyed sharing in Kipper's enthusiasm as he looked after the hamster before the party.

Jasmine - "I liked the hamster rolling"

Thomas - "He liked sliding down the cage - Roly Poly"

When Kipper finally arrived to give Pig his present, he discovered that he had been given all the other pets 

off the list too!

We talked about which pet the children liked the most . . . 

Logan - "I like the mouse - cause I do!"

Kipper had a lovely surprise at the end of the story - we won't spoil it by telling you - but we think you will like it!

Have a read of the book and let us know what you think.

We'd love to hear about any pets that you have too!
