I was not older then 4. During our stay my mother bought several ladybird books (the 'learning with mother' series, several 'talkabout' and 'leaders', 'the zoo', '3 little pigs' and 'shopping with mother' ...) The worn out state some of the books have today, show how they were read over and over. I now have a 5 yr old myself and have decided to widen my scarce collection a little... she loves to hear peter and jane's adventures (some become a little odd in translation) and her first english words were learnt from the 'first picture book'! I guess mine were too!herahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05560623501055492509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6345949833876069606.post-43036777992531205462007-02-10T08:56:00.000-08:002007-02-10T08:56:00.000-08:00"Radient Way books?

My (late) sister, eight years my junior, had Uncle Mac's ABC, and we all knew it off by heart because we read it it to her so many times! Unfortunately I got rid of all my original Ladybirds, but have managed to re-collect them again, together with other books I loved such as the Flower Fairies and Little Grey Rabbit series. I learned to read with the Radiant Way books, but my three children were taught by the Ladybird scheme, and that's when my love of Ladybirds was re-kindled. I bought them so many over the years, but didn't discard them when they were outgrown, so now 'we' (me really) have a large collection. My grandchildren haven't shown quite the same interest in them, but they do come in useful for topics occasionally, although of course the internet is an ever-present source of information these days. Thank you for the opportunity to remember. Best wishes - DoreenDoreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03372897394387290105noreply@blogger.com
