One of the delights of grandparenting a toddler is rediscovering the books you read to your children when they were tiny and even that your parents read to you. The raggedy ones. The old-fashioned ones. The ones where the author wasn't quite so bothered with word count, and the illustrator had a style that wouldn't fly today. Here's a brief tribute (in no particular order) to just a few of them - lovely to see you again, old friends!
A Little Old Man
written by Natalie Norton and illustrated by Will Huntington (1959)
Angus and the Ducks
written and illustrated by Marjorie Flack (1930)
(and all the other Angus stories)
Hairy Maclary from Donaldson's Dairy
written and illustrated by Lynley Dodd (1983)
