![]() "The Umbrella" is a delightful story about Kipper's rainy-day delays (which include being lifted to the moon in a gust that fills his umbrella) on the way to his fishing date with best pal Tiger, a gentle if overly serious pooch. Sweet without pandering, quaint without being corny, the Kipper tales have a timeless charm blending the fanciful with quiet lessons in kindness and getting along. ![]() Finally, "Nothing Ever Happens" features Kipper home alone on another stormy day, alleviating his boredom by exploring the attic and discovering a magician's hat and cane with more tricks than he reckoned. "The Seaside" concerns a day at the beach for Tiger and Kipper, the latter a bit exasperated over Tiger's strategic preoccupation with "setting up a base camp" before fun is allowed. The next morning is slightly less tranquil as the visitor leaves muddy tracks everywhere and takes a swim in a cleaning bucket, but Kipper, who loves small animals, laughs it all off. The scared little bird has been separated from his flock by a storm, and Kipper-characteristically-takes him in, warms him up, and makes a snuggly bed in which the gosling instantly falls asleep. "The Visitor" finds a dozing Kipper awakened by a gosling tapping at his window. But then, the gosling flies back to give Kipper one last hug, he then flies off to his flock for real this time, and Kipper says a final goodbye to him and watches him fly off.Kipper, the generous, fun-loving dog created by British author- illustrator Mick Inkpen, has a go at four different adventures in this little collection, derived from a wonderful television series airing in the U.S. As he watches him fly off he starts to miss him. The Kipper allows him to fly over to his flock, and the gosling almost lands on the ground, but he manages to fly off, as Kipper says goodbye to him. The gosling then starts hearing honking and he and Kipper look out the window, and they find a flock of geese, just like in the book. Kipper then calms him down and he finds out about the goose, and that he can fly, much to his amazement. They then start reading the book, and as Kipper shows him the chick, the goose starts honking again, thinking it's a duck. The goose then comes back with a book and relieves Kipper that he's fine. Kipper then accidentally vacuums Sock Thing thinking it was the goose and tries to look in the vacuum for him. As Kipper begins vacuuming the mess, the goose keeps giving him random stuff like a ball and his toy Sock Thing. He then gives him a bib, and the goose eats while creating another mess. He then tries to show the goose how to eat cereal, only for the goose to accidentally fall off his chair. He then dries up the goose while also puffing up the goose's feathers when trying to dry him up with the towel causing him to laugh. Much to his surprise, he sees that the goose hates the toy duck and attempts to fight it, only to hide in the bubble bath. As he goes downstairs to think about breakfast to give to the goose, he starts hearing him honking again, as he climbs back upstairs to check. Kipper then decides to bathe him and allows him to play with his rubber duck. The goose then starts swimming around in the bucket of water and starts splashing everywhere. He then cleans it up with a mop and bucket, accidentally waking up the goose in the process. The next morning, he finds the goose in his basket, much to his surprise, as he looks at the box, knocked over with Slipper outside and covered in the goose's dirty footprints. Seeing that he isn't very comfortable in the box, Kipper gives him his toy Slipper to sleep in, as he goes back to bed. ![]() Seeing the goose very wet and cold, he gets him a box to warm up in. Feeling bad for the little goose, he lets him in. As he opens the windows to investigate, he finds a baby goose wanting to get in. The episode begins with Kipper trying to sleep in the middle of a rainstorm, as he hears some tapping and honking coming from his window.
