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!

My daughter and I really enjoy reading this book together! We have had many "favorite" stories over the years but I think that "Crocodiles Do Climb Trees" and "Puss in Boots" take turns being at the top of the list.
The illustrations in this book are filled with delightfully expressive characters, and if you look closely (or in my case, often) you will find little bits of whimsy included, a fork for a spear here, a dinosaur in a tea cup there. Definitely a book that can be read over and over yet still be fun to read.
