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

Really good use of the textures, they tie into the story rather than having the story revolve around them

[Oleg Shevelyov]

Surprise, surpise - the smartest of the piglets isn't a brother but a sister piggy! It's the first time I see this clever modification for this classical story. This alone deserves solid 4 stars (can't give 5 because the rest of the story is the same, nothing else is new or original). Drawings are also quite good.

I love these tactile books! Perfect to keep a five month old's attention. Plus they stand up to the baby putting them in his mouth.

Loved reading this with my nephew. This is his favourite book

This was a cute version of the three little pigs made for children. The wording in this book was very easy to understand which is great considering it is a version made for kids. The three little pigs moved out of their mom's house and each made their own houses. One house was made of straw, one of sticks, and one of bricks. Both the stick and straw house was blown down which left the brick house which is where all three pigs stayed to get away from the bad wolf. The wolf couldn't blow down the brick house so he went through the chimney and landed in fire which caused him to run away and the pigs lived happily ever after. I love these types of fairytales because of the happy endings and i'm sure the new readers will enjoy it too! This seems like the type of book you first read to your kids and then they are able to read it on their own after a while too.
