Pip’s playing happily with his scooter in the park, when Posy comes along and decides she wants to have a go. She snatches it and scoots off, but she fall off, and Pip comes to her rescue with a plaster. Posy says she’s sorry, and after a hug, they play in the soft sand.

“Posy had never been on a scooter before, but she thought it looked quite easy. She went up. She went down. She even tried to do a trick on it.
Careful, Posy!
Posy fell off the scooter.”
Kate says: “The Super Scooter, like The Little Puddle is a great example of the emotional rollercoaster of toddler life. These are books in which bad and sad things happen. People snatch scooters, and then they fall off them. People have accidents when they forget to go to the loo because they’re having such fun playing. But they always end happily, with a cuddle, or a bath, or going home for tea.”

Reviews
“My three-year-old loves this reassuring series of the emotional highs and lows of toddler life … a great starting point for discussing issues like sharing and fears for young children.”
“Another wonderful story in the world of Pip and Posy! … I love how applicable this series is to young kiddos, specifically toddlers & preschool age children. In both of the books we’ve read thus far the characters are in everyday situations that have been, in our experience, things happening in their lives right now.”
“A gentle story for the very young about being brave and taking turns.”
“In Axel Scheffler’s sweet story, a rabbit named Pip is zipping through the park on his scooter when he meets his mouse friend, Posy, who wants to try Pip’s scooter. The distress we see on Pip’s face will resonate with any child who has ever been in his position: Your friend may really like your toy, but you really, really don’t want her to take it! […] The final scenes of reconciliation bring these stressful events to a gentle, age-appropriate conclusion.”
“The delightful Pip and Posy picture books deal with the dramas of toddler life. The two are best friends and have fun but sometimes, just like any other toddler, they get cross and sad. It takes friendship, sharing and understanding – and a cuddle – to make things better […] Children aged two to five, and their parents, will recognise their own emotional roller-coasters in these stories.”
“Scheffler’s illustrations are full of comfort and gentle humour.”
“Scheffler’s talent at portraying the trials and tribulations of early childhood in this series is second to none.”
“He has enchanted children all across the world with his modern classic The Gruffalo, the tale of a mouse who manages to outwit his adversaries. Now author and illustrator Axel Scheffler is set to do it all over again with his latest book aimed at the under-fives.”
“There is something so familiar and reassuring about Axel’s illustrations and the gentle drawings of green parks and blue skies reassure that when it comes down to it…it’s the simple things in life that matter.”
“An ideal story, sensitive yet matter-of-fact, to read to children when they are having problems sharing and saying sorry. The text is simple and the illustrations have just the right amount of detail to keep little ones interested without being overwhelmed.”
“These simple stories are simultaneously cosy and reassuring while celebrating the growing independence of the young. Perfect for one to three year olds.”
“Can we get it? When it’s out!” (Dan aged 5)
