He is a minor character in the first series and joins the main characters in the second series where he, Kipper, and Tiger have had many adventures together.Mr. Frog (voiced by Chris Lang) is a magic frog who runs into Kipper occasionally and in one episode.The Bleeper People (voiced by Chris Lang) are two space aliens who live on the moon.Mouse (voiced by Julia Sawalha) is a young female mouse who lives with Kipper at his house.

Fordham Institute names Kipper as the top television show for two- and three-year-old children because of its focus on “developing social and emotional intelligence” through interactions among its characters.[4]References[edit]External links[edit]       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki24\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Enzyklop\u00e4die"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki24\/kipper-tv-series-wikipedia\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Kipper (TV series) – Wikipedia"}}]}]
