To celebrate the Kipper books giveaway, Fairy is launching its 'Make Story-time Special' competition – asking mums and dads to create their own Kipper stories their children will love. All you need to do is create a very short story, around 150 words long, using Kipper and his friends as the main characters. Your Kipper story can be about you and your little one, or a brand new Kipper adventure, the key is to be imaginative! Why not get your child involved too by getting them to help you think of a story? What's more, Fairy will award the author of the winning story a holiday of a lifetime for the whole family worth £5,000 as well as having their story made into a personalised Kipper memento to treasure forever.
Author of the Kipper books, Mick Inkpen has some advice for any budding writer to get you going:
"I try not to write down to children. We've all been kids so the trick is to entertain the child in yourself. That way there's a very good chance you'll catch their attention too".

Mick Inkpen, Kipper creator


GOOD LUCK ALL XXXX
