About the author

Ladybird books are known and loved the world over. For millions of people, they bring back the golden days of childhood - learning to read, discovering the magic of books, and growing up.

The very first Ladybird book ever was produced by a jobbing printer called Wills & Hepworth during the First World War. The company, based in Loughborough, Leicestershire, began to publish 'pure and healthy literature' for children, registering the Ladybird logo in 1915. Despite the company's claims, however, those books would no longer be politically correct. In the ABC Picture Book, for example, A stood for armoured train!

Reviews

[DivaDiane SM]

These were really fun and my son could actually read nearly every word, which is great for a phonics book. Many are quite inane, but these stories were really well done. I like the fact that the focus sound (in this case the short "a" as in cat" and the short "i" as in did - or something) is highlighted in red.

A very good children’s book.

A funny story line. The phonics makes it good for preps to learn.
