Axel Scheffler
573 books175 followersAxel was born in Hamburg, Germany. At school he was good at art, but didn’t think of a career in illustration until he won a cuddly purple cow in a drawing competition.
He moved to England in 1982 to learn English and study illustration at the Bath Academy of Art and then set up home in London.

Bardzo się cieszę, że w moje ręce trafiła POLA I PIOTRUŚ hulajnoga. Jest to wyjątkowa pozycja dla małych dzieci. Choć sama opowieść nie jest skomplikowana, to całość prezentuje się przepięknie. To wspaniała, cudownie kolorowa historia o pomaganiu, o prostej winie i karze w wydaniu dla dzieciaczków.
HULAJNOGA wypełniona jest wyjątkowymi ilustracjami jednego ze współczesnych mistrzów ilustracji dla dzieci Axela Schefflera. Jest on znany głównie z obrazów do GRUFFALO, która to opowieść podbiła świat. Jego styl jest bardzo charakterystyczny, łatwo rozpoznać jego kreskę i dobór kolorów. Barwy u tego twórcy są zawsze intensywne, głębokie, idealne dla dzieci. Jestem fanką.
W tej książeczce mamy wiele szczegółów, o których możemy rozmawiać ze swoimi pociechami. To będzie świetna zabawa, takie wyszukiwanie pomniejszych historii i tej jednej - głównej, bo chociaż mamy tu tylko dwoje bohaterów, to tak naprawdę, dzięki Axelowi jest ich o wiele więcej. Dzieci bawiące się w parku, ptaki latające to tu, to tam, motylki i inne drobne, a może wcale nie takie drobne smaczki.
Jestem absolutnie urzeczona tą książeczką! Została przepięknie wydana. Mamy twardą, dmuchaną okładkę i doskonały papier. Jeśli macie maluszki, to bierzcie w ciemno! A jest to dopiero pierwsza książeczka z tej serii - będą i następne i ja nie mogę się doczekać.

Już jutro swoją premierę będą miały najnowsze książeczki z serii Pola i Piotruś od @wydawnictwo_wilga 😍 Te dwie niepozorne historie to naprawdę wartościowe pozycje, które z pewnością powinny być czytane najmłodszym dzieciakom. Dedykowane są dla dzieci w wieku 0-2, bowiem są napisane naprawdę prostym językiem, który zdecydowanie będzie dla nich bardziej zrozumiały.
⭐Pola i Piotruś to dwójka przyjaciół, która dziennie zmaga się z wyzwaniami dnia codziennego. Mogą na siebie liczyć w każdej sytuacji, nawet gdy podczas zabawy dochodzi do "małych wypadków". Są dla siebie życzliwi, dobrzy i pomocni, co jest naprawdę ważne w życiu każdego dorastającego dziecka. I to, jest tutaj przekazanie w naprawdę przyjemny i klarowny sposób. Czy to w momencie, gdy Pola bez pytania zabiera hulajnogę Piotrusia i zjeżdżając z górki, rozbija sobie kolano, a ten od razu przychodzi jej z pomocą i pocieszeniem, pomimo złości jaką wcześniej odczuwał, czy też w momencie, gdy Piotruś podczas wspólnej zabawy z Polą, zapomina o pójściu do toalety i zdarza mu się "mokry wypadek", a Pola go pociesza i daje swoje ubranka, aby wspólnie mogli kontynuować zabawę.
⭐Niewielka ilość tekstu, uzupełniona jest kolorowymi i przyjemnymi ilustracjami, które przyciągną uwagę niejednego małego człowieka. Do tego można też pobawić się w znajdowanie określonych rzeczy na ilustracjach, jeśli oprócz czytanej historii dziecko samo z siebie będzie pokazywać różne przedmioty, które znajdują się na obrazkach. To może być też idealny sposób na poznawanie nowych słów 🙂

June 18, 2025Ой, как же хочется прокатиться на самокате! И Брики не выдержала - отняла у Чика самокат и укатила вдаль! Конечно, ничего хорошего из этого не вышло. Добрая история для малышей, которая учит дружить, прощать и просить прощения. Зайчика Чика и мышку Брики придумал и нарисовал всемирно известный художник Аксель Шеффлер, создатель знаменитого Груффало. Чик и Брики ссорятся и мирятся, играют и попадают в разные истории. Совсем как настоящие малыши!

Showed my daughter this the other day.
It was one of her favourites when she was a wee toddler.
I think it helped her understand about helping people, giving and taking.
She has no memory of it - but I do:)
Thank you Axel.

I love how this shows typical behaviours. My 18m old reads this every day over and over and likes to compare it to The Snowy Day. Great book

Τα παιδάκια λατρεύουν τις εικόνες και έχουν συνεχώς ερωτήσεις για τις εκφράσεις, τα συναισθήματα, τις ενέργειες της Τέλα και του Τικ.

Short and sweet: LOVE this series!
Review:
Pip and Posy are back at it again! In this edition of the new series from Axel Scheffler they learn that it’s important to use manners and ask before taking someone else’s belongings. Posy decides all she’s ever wanted at that moment is to ride Pip’s very fun scooter, but what she doesn’t do is ask Pip if she can or if he will help her learn to use it. What begins as a careless act ends in the kind forgiveness of a good friend as Pip helps bandage up Posy and helps her home after a day of play.
Another wonderful story in the world of Pip and Posy! Of course having loved the first Pip and Posy story, The Little Puddle, we were thrilled to read & review another. What I may have only lightly touched on in my previous review was the fact that I love how applicable this series is to young kiddos, specifically toddlers & preschool age children. In both of the books we’ve read thus far the characters are in everyday situations that have been, in our experience, things happening in their lives right now. In the case of The Super Scooter, Littlebug is admittedly terrible about asking her big brother to borrow his things. This isn’t something I see coming to an end any time in the near future, but it’s still an issue that needs to be addressed and is often hard to find good picture books they can relate to. Pip and Posy and the Super Scooter is the perfect solution!
Not only does Pip and Posy and the Super Scooter address the issue of asking permission to use another’s belongings, but it also sheds light on some basic etiquette rules in a way that doesn’t feel pushy. By Posy apologizing for taking the scooter and then thanking Pip for bandaging her up, children are able to see multiple ways to incorporate the manners they learn about daily. It also shows kiddos the power of forgiveness. I was surprised by how forgiving Pip was, but then thought back to situations with Littlebug and Turkeybird. It’s always surprised me how quickly they forgive one another, a trait we could all use I’m sure, but without fail it happens each and every time. Pip forgiving Posy was another situation where you see how well the series relates to this age group, but also demonstrates the possibilities of a positive outcome when we’re forgiving of each other. It’s wonderful.
Toddlers and preschool age children need books they can relate to and specifically ones that they fall in love with because of gorgeous illustrations & fantastic characters. The Pip and Posy series by Axel Scheffler is exactly that. In this case, Axel Scheffler takes an ordinary situation involving sharing and turns it into a multi-layered lesson. Pip and Posy and the Super Scooter is easily a favorite of Littlebug’s because she relates so well to the characters and as a parent I value the lessons she’s learning from these wonderful characters. I’d quickly and easily recommend this series to anyone reading to young kiddos, you won’t be surprised by how much they love Pip and Posy but you will most likely be pleasantly surprised by how well written & illustrated the series is.

My son has loved this books since about 10 months old. The story is beautiful. It teaches forgiveness, that it is good to be kind and apologise. The pictures are beautiful and my son loves how colourful they are. There are many interesting things happening in the background of the pictures to talk about which encourages interaction. It is a good length for babies.

Nice bright illustrations and simple text make this a good choice for storytime. Good for "sharing" theme, friendship, toys.
