Ladybird Tuesday: Beaky the Greedy Duck

19/02/2013

Beaky1

A fiction choice for this week's Ladybird Tuesday. There are actually two Ladybird series which are devoted to animal stories, series 401 – which Little Miss C regularly enjoys quite a few books from – and series 497 which Beaky the Greedy Duck belongs to. The 497 books are all somewhat longer and written in a conventional prose style rather than the rhyming couplets that series 401 likes.

As the title suggests this book is all about Beaky, a duck who happens to be rather greedy. It's a lovely little story, if a little long when LMC selects it as a bedtime book, and accompanied by some beautiful illustrations.

There's a quaintness to them yet at the same time they're also timeless and they would look beautiful if framed and hung in a child's room. I may keep my eyes open for more copies in our local charity shops for just that purpose.

If you have a collection of old Ladybird books then please feel free to join in with Ladybird Tuesday. There are no formal rules to follow, just leave a link to any post you write in the comments below and if you're feeling kind link back to my Ladybird Tuesday category here on Being Mrs C. Thanks!

I've also compiled an index of all the Ladybird Tuesday posts to date – organised by series. It satisfies my inner geek and hopefully will also be of interest to others too.

    Another lovely book! I hadn’t thought of recycling old children’s books to frame and decorate my little one’s bedroom so I’ll keep my eyes peeled from now on x
