Ladybird, Ladybird, fly off the shelves (4/4 people found this helpful)

This is a magnificent book. As the book says, everyone has a favourite Ladybird. Chances are it will get a mention in this publication, along with ones you read as a child but will have all but forgotten. Gorgeous illustrations (enlarged from the originals)and quotes from the texts in their original typeface, plus additional comments in non-Ladybird typeface that will bring memories of the times flooding back. My friends' faces light up with happy recognition when I pass this book to them, my husband and I compete to read it, and my little three year old is entranced by it. Even my father can remember the books from when he used to read them to me at bedtime, and we sat around the table today reminiscing over the pictures about the good old days (but were they as good as the illustrations make out?) Such fun. A brilliant present for anyone who read the books as a child, particularly for us 30-50 year olds who might be considered as difficult to buy for. Well done Ladybird, this is a winner. Let's have some fascimile editions of the original Ladybird books soon, please.

This is the best book EVER (10/10 people found this helpful)

This is so nostalgic - it brings tears to your eyes. Talk about reliving every moment of your childhood. A great way to show your children how it really was. Everybody has to buy this book. You will be reading it all Xmas day. Absolutely brilliant !!

STEP BACK IN TIME (10/10 people found this helpful)

There is no doubting that nostalgia is now big business. The latest fad is to be whisked back in time to your childhood - and if this book doesn't send you back to those halcyon days in primary school in the late 60s and early to mid 70s then nothing will. Back to an era where Playstations were unheard of and golden memories of times tables, the nature table, Christmas, Bonfire Night as well as that old stalwart Tootles the Taxi - they're all here. Flick through the pages and see how many times YOU say "Oh - I remember THAT!"
A gem to be treasured.
