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

[Krisz · Rating 3 out of 5]

The concept of the book is that it contains several stories, where there is more text than illustration, although it's still very illustrated. I do see on my 4-year-old that this kind of book is perfect, she doesn't need a new picture with each sentence.
Otherwise the book fails a little: some of the stories are cute, others are crap - therefore the 3 stars.
The illustrations are cute, the child loves it, so altogether it is a good choice.
