"Going to School", Lovely Vintage Ladybird Learning to Read Book'

Charming Ladybird Vintage Children's book from the Ladybird series 563 of children's books that included 'Shopping with Mother'.  Delightfully nostalgic book first published in 1959. This edition most likely 1970's.

"A Carefully planned and and illustrated book which will be welcomed not only by parents with children already at school and learning to read, but also by those with young children about to go to school...In this book are illustrated all the interesting and enjoyable activities which today makes school such a happy experience, and with it's help parents can ensure that their children will eagerly anticipate what lies ahead."

Classic Vintage Ladybird with large print and simple sentences showing a day in school when this book was first published in the 1950's.

Delightfully illustrated with the quaint vintage full page illustrations and still such an enjoyable book for children to read today. 

The world is much more diverse today but a day at school's activities can be very much the same in early years.

There was a bit of a trend for people to frame up these super vintage illustrations so the books are getting harder to find now. 

A classic vintage Ladybird book to add to your collection. 

NB: Photos show actual book for sale we do not use stock images.
