Overview
The First Experiences with Biff, Chip and Kipper 8 Books Collection Set gently introduces young children to everyday milestones, from starting school to visiting the doctor. Written by Roderick Hunt and illustrated by Alex Brychta, the creators behind the much-loved Oxford Reading Tree, these paperback stories use familiar, trusted characters to make new situations feel safe, exciting and easy to talk about with little ones aged two to five.

About the Books
Each of the eight paperback titles follows Biff, Chip and Kipper as they encounter a common childhood experience for the first time. In Learning to Swim, the siblings discover water confidence, while Going to the Dentist and Going to the Doctor demystify medical check-ups with warm, reassuring illustrations. Going on a Plane prepares families for their first flight, covering airport routines, and Starting School captures the excitement and nerves of a first day, from making friends to settling into new routines. Going to the Hospital offers a gentle look at hospital visits for anxious children, while Fun at the Farm introduces animals and sensory play outdoors. A New Baby explores the arrival of a sibling, helping children process change with empathy. Every story uses simple, age-appropriate language paired with Alex Brychta's characterful artwork, ideal for shared reading at bedtime, in the classroom, or whenever a new experience is on the horizon. As part of the wider Oxford Reading Tree family, this series brings the same trusted storytelling used in most UK primary schools, adapted for pre-school and early years audiences.
