Kippy's Christmas Surprise Coralee Cole

Kippy can't wait to deliver Christmas gifts to his woodland friends. His parents remind him to come home before dark, but Kippy stops to play with each friend along the way. He eats watermelon seeds with Blossom Possom, plays tag with Fritzie Fox, teeter-totters with Robby Rabbit, jumps rope with Sneeter Snake, swings with Ricky Raccoon, and plays soldiers with Tubby Turtle. Too late, he realizes it's snowing heavily, he's not going to get home before dark--and he's lost. He finally finds what he thinks is his home, but his parents aren't there--nor are his belongings. He falls into a fitful sleep and awakens the next morning in his own bed with his parents standing next to him. His dad had found him in a nearby tree and brought him home. Kippy is so happy! As he somersaults into the living room to see what gifts Santa has left, Kippy's biggest Christmas surprise is waking up at home. This adorable children's book contains original, full-color artwork.
