But Kipper starts to play with Roly before Pig's birthday party and before he knows it he has missed the party and completely fallen for little Roly and cannot bear to give him away. The twist at the end is vintage Inkpen storytelling and ensures that everyone comes out happy. Kipper fans, new and old, will be delighted by this wonderful new book to add to their collection.
