Pip and Posy is a series of British children's picture books written by Axel Scheffler, known for his work on the Gruffalo series with author Julia Donaldson. The series follows the adventures of two animal friends, Pip the rabbit and Posy the mouse, as they navigate the ups and downs of their everyday lives.

Each book in the series typically explores various themes and lessons that are relevant to young children, such as friendship, sharing, jealousy, and problem-solving.

The books have gained acclaim among parents, caregivers, and educators for their capacity to impart social and emotional skills to preschool-aged children.[citation needed] They serve as resources for initiating discussions on topics related to friendship and emotions within early childhood education.[1]
