Hello Elizabeth. My son had a full collection and loved his Ladybird books., It was part of our evening routine, me reading to him, and he would explain the pictures..

He is forty-seven now and still loves books , not Ladybird anymore, but they were where he got the reading bug.

Dear All

Hello

Hope you are okay.


The Ladybird book series was launched in Leicestershire in the 19th Century.

Millions of illustrated books have been sold in the UK, covering everything
from history, science and fairytales to, more recently, e-books and popular brands such as Peppa Pig and Hello Kitty.

Did you read a Ladybird book when you were young or have you read one to a small person?


Take gentle care
With best wishes
Elizabeth, EOS
