Based on Mick Inkpen's popular, mellow children's books, practical pooch Kipper comes to animated life in this seven-segment program that emphasizes outdoor recreation for the K-man, pork pals Pig and little Arnold, and know-it-all terrier Tiger. Exploring the beach, the gang gets more adventure than they bargained for in “The Rescue,” while the “Clouds” episode finds Kipper and Arthur climbing a rainbow to glide around in a fanciful cloudland. “Crazy Golf” shows just what a bad sport Tiger is when he can't cut it on the obstacle course, Kipper's house gets a soggy new look with “Water Water Everywhere,” and “The Big Race” draws on Aesop's fable about the tortoise and the hare. From bike-riding (“Arnold on Wheels”) to a field trip to visit the animals (“The Farm”). Kipper and his pals enjoy good weather, good fun, good friends, and ultimately provide good entertainment in this sure to be popular compilation. Recommended. Aud: K, E, P. (J. Williams)
