The Stage 1 Biff, Chip and Kipper Stories provide humorous storylines to engage and motivate children. The popular characters and familiar settings are brought to life by Roderick Hunt and Alex Brychta.

They introduce the Stage 1 key words (the characters' names; `a', `and' and `the') in a set of motivating child-centred stores: Where does the mysterious spaceman come from?Why is Floppy out of favour? What happens to Mum and Dad's bed? Look in on the `Biff and Chip Show'; join the family having fun at the beach; and find out what's cooking.
