I grew up on a diet of Ladybird books. I recall my Grandparents having a huge collection of them and as a bookworm from an early age I soon made my way through them or demanded to be read to. I was therefore super excited when two colouring books from this much love publishing house landed at my door, especially the “Well Loved Tales: Cinderella” one as it always has been (and still is) one of my favourite fairytales and I think the idea of being able to colour along as you read is just wonderful.
Are these not the most charming books? I think this are such a lovely idea and would make a wonderful gift for children and adults alike. They are the perfect size for stashing in your bag, perfect for keeping young and old entertained on a long train journey or for whiling away a rainy Autumn afternoon.
Mae seemed pretty impressed too, any excuse to get in front of the camera eh?
Which of your favourite childhood reads would you most like to colour in?
What a lovely idea. Cinderella is a lovely one but I’d like to colour in The Elves and The Shoemaker (at least I think that’s what it’s called!! I’m going to have to Google it now).
These are lovely, perfect stocking fillers!

They are charming!!!!x
This is such a lovely idea – I loved the Ladybird books growing up. I think my favourite was one about a magical growing squash that required six/seven people to pull it up – cannot remember the name.

Oh wow! I LOVE these. I had Ladybird books as well, and colourable ones is such an amazing addition to the collection!
Oh, how lovely, I miss my Ladybird book collection – I used to love reading them, and like you, my grandparents had a big collection as well! This brings back good memories. I love that they’ve brought out some colouring books too, the Cinderella one looks so cute. Love that Mae got a little cameo in too! 😀 And thank you for the lovely comments as of late, Laura. – Tasha
