For more than 30 years the characters of Biff, Chip, and Kipper and the golden dog Floppy have been guiding children of this and last generation in learning how to read. These books have stood the test of time, and continued to build up the essential reading skills for children around the world over the past few decades. The beloved books are created by Roderick Hunt and illustrated by Alex Brychta and date back to 1986, now part of the Oxford Reading Tree.
The author Roderick Hunt had said that he wanted to create reading material that could both benefit and entertain kids, hence he began making this reading program which is very much focused on humour, fun, and reading development, this was specially made a priority when Hunt’s son was starting school.
Illustrator Alex Brychta is an amazing partner of Hunt and was able to clearly explain the storylines in detail with a particular style and the expressions were done immaculately. Hunt stated that he felt reading is an essential part of development for children, he wanted to bring the joys of reading to children and to the world of print.

There was a stage in many of our lives where, when our friends would come and visit, we'd gather around our latest plant (probably a delicious monster or something) and 'ooh' and 'aah' at its brilliant foliage, and we'd proudly stand back and boast about how many times a week we water it. Or something bigger, like a brand new lamp, and how ambient it makes the room look with its different colour settings.
Nowadays, it doesn't matter how nice that lamp is if you don't have electricity. It doesn't matter how great your delicious monster looks if no one can see it in the dark. Nowadays, you probably wouldn't invite your friends over at all, unless it was to gather around a brand new inverter or power station, like our deal on this 1600W power station from Switched. Now that's something to 'ooh' and 'aah' about!
