We like Peter. We like Jane. Part II.
BTLP warned that this site – www.ladybirdprints.com - had a touch of the Proustian rush about it, but how could I have forgotten how fabulous the illustrations were too? And how much the four year old me liked the look of that toy shop…
So here are some of my favourite images of 70s Peter, Jane and the ever-faithful Pat the dog from 1a: Play with us.

I think those are all great. It definitely brings me back to my young school years. This is when I developed my love of reading. I’m still an avid reader.

They’re great aren’t they? Very of their time too – Jane is wearing flares!
I think these books definitely introduced me to the world of reading. I loved reading, probably more as a child than now. I think it also teaches you how to write well if you read lots of books.
