I have the first Kipper video's Pig's Present and The Visitor, which was my introduction to Kipper since we do not get cable. Anyway I thought the older ones were really good, but nothing compared to the new ones- this video and Pools, Parks and Picnics. Now Kipper has a background. When camping there are tress and lakes and not just the white background of the older videos. These stories are wonderful and edge of your seat fun- for me anyway. My baby is 9 month's old and can sit through 2 Tiger Tales. I kept watching the whole 60 minute video because I could not turn it off. Kipper, Tiger and friends go camping, roller skating, to the beach, and river rafting in this one. All the episodes are wonderful, cute, fun and even learning. You teach your children to play outside and share. There is no inside the house, or in this case doghouse, in this video. I loved it and I hope Sara will to when she gets a little older.

My kid can't tell the difference, but I can. The writing is no longer as crisp as it used to be; for example, Tiger, always a bit cranky, is now downright curmudgeonly. Still, these episodes are fun, and your kids will love 'em. Just not quite the same.

Tiger Tales is a video tape my son has watched over and over again (along with most of the other Kipper tapes) since he was 18 months old. He is now 3 years old and we still watch this video occassionally when taking a break from Bob the Builder and the Magic School Bus videos. Tiger, Pig, Arnold and Jake are such cute friends. I wish that more Kipper toys would be available too!

I wish these would come out on DVD, I hate the rewinding with tape, but these episodes are great like all Kipper episodes. The shows are gentle, and don't rub lessons in your face. For e.g. the river trip has a section where Tiger is to tie up the boat.

There is never a loud voice and I love watching along with my 2 year old son through as many repeats as he would like. Can you believe, he prefers it to Barney! I think that is because of the simple engaging story lines. You can let them watch on their own without a worry unlike shows like Sesame street. In the official reviews comparison to Pooh, I would mention that there is no destructive, loud, inconsiderate character like the Tigger in the newer disney pooh shows here.

We love anything Kipper. This is a wholesome video series with good values in a simple format that really focuses on a lesson. We love Kipper. It is so cute how my US child has picked up on the British vernacular. These videos are appropriate for the toddler in their simplistic art styles but extend into Kindergarten age in the dialog and life lessons. Did I say we love Kipper!
