Even in the early 1980s it was old fashioned as I am sure it was around in the 1950s. It just shows the essentials of what children like to listen to.Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12404265296554666518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5773931325239238333.post-24207053465211487912014-02-09T20:52:22.203+00:002014-02-09T20:52:22.203+00:00This was one of my husband's favourite books w...This was one of my husband's favourite books when he was a small child, he loved it so much!

I recall one where it insisted high tea was taken at 4pm and I thought I was a deprived child as we didn't have this! <br /><br />They genuinely were the best starter children's books and are part of so many peoples childhood. Thanks for sharing.
