About the author

Ladybird books are known and loved the world over. For millions of people, they bring back the golden days of childhood - learning to read, discovering the magic of books, and growing up.

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!

Reviews

Might be a little too hard for my beginner reading students.

[Simone Hubbard · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is a classic, up there with the greats such as 'pride and Prejudice' and 'great expectations'. The beautiful words explain their actions and the plot so simply that even a child could understand. the only reason for its 4-star rating is due to the fact that this was simply too short. I could only hope that this masterpiece was longer and my eyes would be blessed for a greater amount of time whilst reading this story. Truly beautiful.

I loved Topsy and Tim books when I was little and I have managed to source some for my little boy. We love reading them together and he has now started reading them to me!
