Synopses

The New Friend

Pip and Posy enjoy a day at the seaside, collecting shells and digging in the sand. While Posy naps, Pip meets Zac, who has fun toys and beach gear and is good at handstands.

The Big Balloon

Pip is proud of his big red balloon, but he is inconsolable when it floats away and pops. Posy comes up with an idea to cheer him up, and soon they are having fun again.

The Bedtime Frog

Posy stays at Pip’s house and they play together before bed. When the lights go out, Posy realises she has forgotten her favourite frog toy, and Pip offers different substitutes, including his frog money box.

The Little Puddle

Pip and Posy are best friends who have fun, but they can also get cross and sad. When Pip comes to play at Posy’s house, it takes friendship, sharing, understanding and a cuddle to make things better.

The Super Scooter

Pip and Posy are best friends who have fun, but they can also get cross and sad. It takes friendship, sharing, understanding and a cuddle to make things better.

The Scary Monster

Pip arrives at Posy’s house wearing a scary monster mask and gives her a fright. When she realises it is only Pip, she feels better and they share the biscuits she has made.

The Snowy Day

Pip and Posy head out to play in the snow and decide to build a snowman. Things go wrong when Pip wants a snow rabbit and Posy wants a snow mouse, but they resolve it during a cosy craft session indoors.

The Christmas Tree

Pip and Posy decorate the Christmas tree with candy sticks, biscuits and a sugar star, but decorations keep disappearing whenever Posy leaves the room. Posy later finds Pip on the sofa feeling sick, and the story touches on the problems caused by telling fibs, with gentle lessons about being kind and tooth-brushing.
