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

Product Information

Some time in the late 60s, before the first revision, this key was drawn in a black box and moved to the bottom left of the cover – so you can date your books more precisely using such clues. The books were designed as materials for teaching a small child to learn to read, using a system of key phrases and words devised by teacher William Murray.

No mobile phones, designer trainers or computer games – but the children have scruffy hair, wear jeans and T-shirt and don’t tidy up after themselves.

The sale of customised goods or perishable goods, sealed audio or video recordings, or software, which has been opened. The confidence building thing is magic and I'm my humble opinion a massively important cornerstone of reading development. It has the front cover to classify it as a ‘First Revision’ book, but inside it has the split layout design of the late 70s books and must have been produced on the cusp of the revision period).Fair-haired and blue-eyed, every one in the children’s world looks exactly like them, apart from Pat the dog.

Daddy was expected to play more of a ro le in Peter and Jane’s affairs, w hereas in the 1960s version he might watch with detached indulgence the scenes involving Mummy and the children. Very happy with my purchase and I would highly recommend to any parent who wants their child to learn how to read. In We Do Lockdown, Miriam Elia, a visual artist, has her characters Mummy, John and Susan swamping their garden in bleach, taping off Granny’s house with hazardous material tape and growing highly sceptical of scientific advice. Along the way there are monochrome Puritans, poodled-haired cavaliers and, best of all, the one that I traced endlessly, a Victorian lady at the theatre in an oyster evening dress decorated with a tumble of roses. Busy providing a safe, stable environment for their own little Peters and Janes, men such as Berry and Wingfield showed a world where things were, on the whole, getting better.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. If it was a teaching manual or something dry and dusty you would have read it in its time, it would have gone into the attic, it would have been chucked away and that would have been it.

The childhood of Ladybirds was egalitarian and unsnobbish , depicting suburbia as the kind of utopia that town planners always intended it to be. Once accepted, though, you could find yourself doing a whole series, which meant 10 books or 240 images. If you need reminding – or persuading – of the brilliance of Ladybird illustration, then head to Bexhill, East Sussex, where Ladybird By Design opens at the De La Warr pavilion on 24 January. In the second generation of books you saw not just Mummy going out to work and being more proactive, you saw Jane doing things that certainly would have been considered ungainly 10 or 15 years before," adds Prof Zeegan.Etsy assumes no responsibility for the accuracy, labelling, or content of sellers' listings and products.
