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!

Flaps about stripes
January 9, 2019
A quick, simple board book with a few themed riddles
July 2, 2016
We received Whose Stripes from my mother when Bug was about 6 months-old. At that point, he just liked the striped pages that unfolded. I would making a buzzing noise and tickle him on the bee page but that was about it. When he was about a year, that’s when Whose Stripes exploded. It’s not that he didn’t like it before. He did. Its just that, now he’s more interested in something other than just the bee.
Each page initially shows the stripes that that particular animal has and then different pieces of the animal poking through their habitat. An ear popping out from behind a bush there, an eye peeking through the leaves here. Once the striped page is folded back then you can see the entire animal. Bug, all of a sudden, loved trying to figure out what part of the hidden creature we were seeing. It was great for practicing body parts. “Mama! Eye!”
He’s getting better at identifying the animals now. Zebra is difficult to say but he tries valiantly. We’re also figuring out what stripes are and practice finding them. The best moments are when he or I am wearing a stripey shirt and it coincides with our reading. This does not happen often. I have enough things going on without coordinating our clothing with our reading selection. Maybe one day. One magical day in the far, far future.*
Story Tips:
-Practicing the animal sounds is always great, as is figuring out what body parts are visible. This provides a great opportunity to build deductive and observational techniques.

A flaptastic board book that encourages readers to guess which animal dons which set of stripes. Rhyming text makes for a fun read aloud, especially for babies and toddlers.
