Introduce your child to new situations through these entertaining and sensitively written stories, which are perfect for reading together. Each story is packed with facts and humour to familiarise your child with what to expect from a first experience e.g. what will happen, who they will meet and new things thing might see. First Experiences with Biff, Chip and Kipper have been carefully created to help parents explore the wider world with their child, talk about shared feelings and emotions, and build vocabulary through the fun activities included in every book. Each book also includes practical tips and ideas for you to use when reading together. Biff, Chip and Kipper are characters from the Oxford Reading Tree series, which is used in 80% of primary schools. This story has been written by Roderick Hunt, author of the original Oxford Reading Tree stories, and Annemarie Young; superb storytellers with over 50 years educational experience between them. Alex Brychta's humorous and detailed illustrations bring the stories alive and are known to and loved by millions of young readers all over the world. This series is linked to Read with Biff, Chip and Kipper - the UK's best-selling home reading series, and is supported by free eBooks and advice for parents at www.oxfordowl.co.uk. Review: Love it - I know I am too old for this book,but I read it anyway. I liked it a lot especially that it's just like a normal book with two pages instead of just one. Anyway, I liked it a lot. Review: Great little book! - My Grandson has just started swimming lessons and my partner came across this kindle book which he thought might make the first lesson less daunting. It certainly did that but also it entertained and enthralled him. It is set out in 'show two pages like an open book' format (you need to have your kindle/kindle fire landscape orientation). There are some lovely colour pictures accompanying the brief and simple text and you can double-tap to enlarge the writing. It provides a useful 'starter reader' book. There is a section at the end recommending questions to ask your child about the book-my Grandson loved all these. As soon as he had been all through the book, he was eager to read it again. Lovely-and a nice price too. It does say which devices this book is compatible with but I did find it disappointing that it wouldn't send to the kindle app on the computer-I feel it would have looked even better on a larger screen.

Sufficiently interesting storyline, nice illustrations that look like pools of today look, ideal gift for a child about to embark on swimming lessons to help them know what to expect
