It has many differences from what the TV series would have, with the titular item being kept inside a chest instead of on Floppy's collar. The original book that the series is named after was first published in January 1986. The books are aimed at children aged four to nine, and could form part of an English language syllabus in line with the National curriculum, designed to help children learn to speak and read Standard English. It is used by more than 80% of schools in the United Kingdom, and has been translated into numerous languages in over 120 countries. The Oxford Reading Tree series was first published in 1985 with a set of 30 stories, and there are now over 300 stories altogether. It starts to glow and transports the 7 children, Floppy and sometimes the Robinsons' grandmother through a vortex to other worlds, where they have exciting adventures, such as dealing with trolls in a cavern, being characters inside of a computer game, or finding the Fountain of Youth and when the adventure is done, they get a gift and the key glows and they all go home.Īlongside the main story, to fit in with the book's original educational values, there are helpful hints towards teaching children the best use of English.

The key is magic, as the title suggests, and seems to do some strange things whenever one of the children asks a question and Floppy wishes for something. Floppy wears a collar around his neck with a golden key upon it. The series centres on the lives of three children, Biff, Chip and Kipper Robinson, their parents, their grandmother, their friends, Wilf and Wilma Page, Nadim Shah, Anneena Patel and the Robinsons' dog, Floppy. The series is a co-production between Collingwood O'Hare Entertainment Limited and HIT Entertainment, in association with the BBC and aired within the BBC Schools strand on BBC Two from 2000 until 2001. The Magic Key is an educational animated television series based on the 'Biff, Chip and Kipper' stories from the Oxford Reading Tree published by Oxford University Press, originally written by Roderick Hunt and illustrated by Alex Brychta.
