Oh god we've started getting the Kipper books and even I have no idea what the story is!

[SleepFreeZone]

We've got the Getting Up book from Oxford Reading Tree and we are meant to talk about each page and tell the story without words. I am clueless.

The end is that it's the dads birthday and a load of randoms are in the garden but the beginning and middle seem to involve a dirty top getting clean and while the kid trashes its room the parents seem happy. At the end you see the father's back so obviously the characters that seemed like the parents weren't the parents as they look nothing alike.

It's basically a trip with no LSD.

They are definitely someone's bad acid trip.

Very odd, between that and the dogging.

What the fuck!!!

Lol.

tomorrow

I thought DD and I had endured read all of the books! Clearly the teachers only gave her the tame ones!

What about this one....

Lol. I found those images amusing but had to explain to ds who was five at time we don't do those things.

Oh we had that one last week. I think they are planning a surprise for when dad gets up at 7; the older ones are a bit more organised while the younger one gets ready

Or something

Poor granny and her glasses.

The two pics in my post are from books that are either purple or turquoise

God that brings back memories. I'm 31 and we used these in primary school along with workbooks if I remember right. Biff, Chip, Kipper and Floppy. The Magic Key isn't it?

The drunken horse is a firm favourite!

sleepfree we've been sent home with that one too. The only bit dd actually likes is the dog having toothpaste on its nose. Why is the post woman invited to the Dads birthday?

Mind you, this is a fun story starring Mrs May!

Last book we had they left floppy behind on a magic key adventure. I'm hoping they never retrieve him.

I think I need to look at it again tomorrow and figure out who is who. The stripey top was dirty in one picture and clean in the next and the kid was wrecking his room while other people looked on smiling. I'm now assuming they were siblings or something.

I can't believe some of the pictures that have been posted on this thread!! What the hell is going on with the old woman who's hat has flown off?!!

This is hilarious. I have no idea what Gran was on in the story we had sent home yesterday but she basically beat up three witches. All interspersed with references to "Good old Gran"

We had one where the dog was peeing up against a tree. The kids found it very amusing.

Oh - and always looked for the mislaid spectacles in each book - and the dog's bone in most of them - and there is a surprised looking squirrel in some - oh and the pervy looking handyman.....

My eldest DC's (now at uni/just graduated) all learned on ORT and the illustrator clearly enjoyed putting in a few slightly dubious things for the parents amusement.

6yo DC4 is at the same school and I'm pretty sure, learning to read using the same tattered copies of ORT. He's on level 8 now (brown books) and some of then are actually a bit sinister to an adult, both illustrations and story.
DC likes them now they are "proper" stories with lots of words. Glad this will be MY last time reading the series

You need to read The Time Chronicles to understand what is going on. The janitor is basically the guardian for the children against evil time travellers.

There's all the creepy neigbours and janitors too who peer over fences and in windows...
