Ladybird Key Words with Peter and Jane 36 Books Box Set (HB)

Product Information

Perhaps this achievable utopia was a compensatory fantasy for the illustrators who, born around 1920, had mostly known childhoods far harder than this. Then there’s Frank Hampson, creator of the Eagle’s Dan Dare, who illustrated that quintessential Ladybird series, Kings and Queens of England. I'm not sure there were any more accidents because of these books, probably not, but certainly nowadays children wouldn't be encouraged, they would probably be positively discouraged from the types of activities that Ladybird featured in this set of books. But in her Telegraph Magazine article of a couple of years ago, Cressida Connolly makes a point that is easily forgotten.

saying that I used Glen Doman cards with Dd when she was a baby and moved onto Peter and Jane books.In fact, so popular were these characters that featured in the series of Ladybird books designed to help young children to learn to read, that they were generally referred to as ‘ Peter and Jane books’ rather than their official title, the Key Words Reading Scheme. It’s pretty safe to say that most British children in the 1960s and ‘70s grew up on good terms with Peter, Jane and their dog, Pat.

But since these small cosmetic changes have nothing to do with artwork or contents change, I can’t get excited about them and don’t see them as a separate versions of the books.

The first models for Peter and Jane were, I believe, Jill Ashurst and her friend Christopher Edwards who lived near Wingfield in Sutton Coldfield and who were only 4 or 5 years old at the time. In 1976, Asher and Waller reformed for the annual New York " Beatlefest" and played a few other dates. This builds confidence in children when they recognise these key words on sight (also known as the 'look and say' method of learning).And for me that is why the best thing that parents can do is to read TO/WITH their children and instill a love of books and literature.

The second column shows the first revision books produced in the early 70s and the last column shows the late 70s books, when the remaining artwork was given a makeover and the layout of the covers was changed to give the framed picure on the front.
