About this book
Kipper is working hard preparing for his birthday. He bakes a very interesting cake to share with his friends and makes beautiful invitations but is too tired to deliver them and that's where the trouble starts.
The simplicity and gentle humour characteristic of Mick Inkpen's storytelling, along with his timeless and charming illustrations, will doubtless appeal to today's youngsters just as much as when the stories were first published.
