Happy New Year 2011

Hello friends.
I too thought of "months" books when contemplating our first week of the new year posting.
In honor of my beloved son, Kevin, who passed away on Nov. 1st I want to share one of his favorite books.

"Kevvy" absolutely loved stories and we read this particular book many times together.

Kipper's new year's resolution is to not throw snowballs at Tiger (which he doesn't keep btw). Kipper and Tiger explore the months of the year with Kipper taking photos to capture memories. It is a delightful story that will teach the months while keeping children amused with the antics the two of them get up to. And as usual, can the illustrations be any more endearing? Mick Inkpen has such a talent for weaving sweet scenes, humour, and childhood innocence.
I love the ending and the last "photo" of the year. Hint: Tiger gets his snowball revenge. ;o)


Happy New Year everyone. I hope this year brings you peace, joy, prosperity and good health.

For my sweetie.
