Have you seen these books yet? If you are in your 30s / 40s and grew up in the UK I’m sure you will recognise ‘The Ladybird Book’ series – if we didn’t own them ourselves our school library certainly had a few. They were an inescapable part of childhood and although wooden in their writing style and retro (even back in 1983!) in their illustrations they were the way many of us were introduced to a wide range of subjects and stories.
Now the clever publishers at Ladybird have had a genius idea to tap into the fondness we have for those small hardback books – to do subjects more relevant to adults but in the ‘ladybird style’. Think ‘Mindfulness’, ‘Mid-Life Crisis’, ‘The Husband’, ‘The Wife’, ‘The Shed’ and the titles above that I just bought for my son’s Godfather (he’s single, works in the music industry and lives in Shoreditch – those 3 subjects basically sum up his life).
The books are hilarious. Those kind of books that you want to read extracts from to anyone in your near vicinity and every time you turn a page you laugh and say, “oh listen to this one …”!
They would make very good stocking fillers!
They are available in the UK here and in the US here.
