You've got Annie over at Mammasaurus to thanks for the book I've chosen as this week's Ladybird Tuesday. From the Fun Guys series (series number 814) it's the bottleneck and the mole hole.
The Fun Guys series was first published in 1981 and features Inky, Flop, Toad, Stump, Lumpy and Rot – six friends who love FUN!
"Each of them is good-hearted but not very bright and this, combined with their very unusual appearance, leads to many hilarious adventures"
Well, their strange, somewhat comical appearance is something that can't possibly go without mention. It's certainly what caused Annie to post a picture of them on Facebook last week!
In terms of stories, well these little guys certainly have some adventures. Little Miss C enjoyed the tales of their fun, although she did keep asking again and again what the Fun Guys were supposed to be. It seems the comedy appearance was somewhat lost of her.
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. Thank you!
SO RUDE! Heh heh any time you need dodgy pictures from old books – I’m yer gal!
I just knew Id be able to count on you Annie! 😉
I remember this series from when I was little, I never saw anything rude at the time though! Here is my post for this week’s Ladybird Tuesday http://www.jenniferslittleworld.com/2013/08/ladybird-tuesday-railway-children.html
