Tim Kipper

Tim Kipper thinks smoking is yummy until one day he sprouts a chimney on the top of his head. He's so worried he smokes even more which makes the chimney grow even taller and he outgrows a bobble hat, a topper and finally a dustbin in his efforts to hide it. Only a visit to the doctor and a spell in ospital rid him of his unwanted appendage. Told in rhyme, this is first and foremost a marvellously funny cautionary tale. At the same time, the illustrations of overflowing dirty ashtrays, clouds of smoke and Tim's worried and increasingly unhealthy appearance should help debunk the glamorous image that smoking still has for many young people. Ideal for all ages.
