About this book

Pip and Posy have a squabble over a scooter when Posy borrows Pip's, but falls off and hurts herself. Luckily, her friend Pip forgives her and they make up.

This sweet story is part of the endearing Pip and Posy series with gentle lessons for toddlers and preschoolers. The two animals are best friends and have lots of fun together, but sometimes they get cross, as in this story, or sad. This reflection of everyday life will be familiar to young children, and these stories might be a way to talk to them about feelings.

Young children will enjoy Axel Scheffler's trademark charming illustrations full of detail. 

About the illustrator

Axel was born in Hamburg, Germany. At school he was good at art, but didn't think of a career in illustration until he won a cuddly purple cow in a drawing competition. He moved to England in 1982 to study illustration at the Bath Academy of Art, and then set up home in London.

He was the illustrator for Julia Donaldson's first picture book, A Squash and a Squeeze - the start of a hugely successful partnership. Their bestselling modern classic, The Gruffalo, has sold millions of copies. His books have been translated into 42 languages.
