Overview
Meet Pip the mouse and Posy the rabbit, best friends created by Axel Scheffler, the beloved illustrator of The Gruffalo. This six-book board-book set gathers six gentle, funny stories about everyday toddler life, from first scooter rides to sleepy bedtime worries. Built for the smallest hands, each sturdy volume pairs a few simple words per page with bright, expressive artwork toddlers can "read" again and again. It's a natural first step into story time and a reassuring world for children learning to share, apologize, and comfort one another.

About the Books
Pip and Posy began as a series about two small animal friends navigating the big feelings of toddlerhood, and this six-book set collects six of the earliest, best-loved titles. In The Super Scooter, an argument over a shiny new scooter becomes a lesson about accidents, apologies, and making up. The Little Puddle follows a playdate mishap that ends in gentle understanding rather than embarrassment. The New Friend explores a beach day where Posy naps and Pip finds someone new to play with, gently testing the security of friendship. The Bedtime Frog settles young listeners down with a cozy nighttime routine built around a favorite toy. The Big Balloon turns a proud moment and a small mishap into a story about comfort after disappointment. The Scary Monster plays gently with toddler fears, revealing that the "monster" at the door is simply a friend in a silly costume. Across all six stories, Scheffler's warm, uncluttered illustrations tell as much of the story as the brief text, letting toddlers read facial expressions and cause and effect long before they can read the words themselves. Short sentences and repeating patterns make these ideal read-alouds for parents and caregivers, while rounded corners and chunky board pages stand up to enthusiastic little hands. The set works equally well as a calm-down tool, a bedtime ritual, or an early social-emotional learning aid, growing alongside toddlers as they move toward following along with real words.
