This book is about a boy called kipper who goes shopping with his mum. Kipper lost the magic key on the way to the shop. Kipper finds the key with his mum and his friends help, but the magic key lost its glow temporarily. This book can be used to support children in reading. The words used are decodable which aids children to practice reading. The author of the book is Roderick Hunt.

Read with my Turkish host family's children. The magic key is lost and so the children can't go on another of their lame magic key adventures, hooray! The real adventure is in the trail the children follow to get the key back.

Shy asked why the boys looked in the bin, that's so disgusting

Ah, Roderick Hunt, what a vital part of my growing up you were.

I’m fairly certain it’s a British rite of passage to read a Roderick Hunt book. They are the books you have to read at school, the ones that will move you towards the entirety of the literary world.

And boy, were they ever fun!

It doesn’t matter how old I get, I’m still more than capable of recalling details from his stories.

They certainly left a lasting impression!
