I love Ladybird Books, who doesn't?

I learned to read with them, at a time when kids had a bottle of milk with a straw for  mid-morning school break. Now, that's going back a few years!

I wonder, do any of you actually polish at home?

Like Mummy et Papa

Savannah made my day yesterday by reading this old school book of mine out aloud with a perfect English accent. You've no idea what it means to me. Now that she's mastered reading in French she's eager to learn to read and write in English. I love Ladybird books and learned to read with them myself (remember nature tables???)




She's also very crafty and loves drawing, painting and making collages. She's been looking for ideas in her dad's old exercise books. How can you not be inspired by these little gems? I must be getting old and nostalgia's setting in... somehow school books just don't look as good, no matter where you come from...
