When I was a kid, we had a collection of most of the books in the series. They were meant to help improve our English reading skills and learn vocabulary, sentence structures, etc. I still remember those stories very well, which is kind of crazy to me.
I remember Chip (the older brother), Biff (the older sister), and Kipper (the younger brother) with his striped shirt very well, as well as the funny yellow dog “Floppy”.
The first few “stages” involved normal things like going to the beach, Gran’s house, and going to school. The later stages had loads of fun adventures involving magical worlds.
Has anyone else read those books as a kid? I still remember each story very well, which I find really weird.

Not as a kid, but as a parent.
Wonderful books for early readers.

Same here - my kids had these, but I’m of the generation raised on Roger Red Hat

Same, I had mine bringing them home a few years ago.
One thing that always struck me was how 1990’s (and maybe earlier) the pictures were. It’s hard to put my finger on why, but they just don’t feel contemporary.
