Filed under What Present To Buy Someone Who Remembers The Good Old Days
Anyone who went to school in the 50s, 60s and 70s will have fond memories of the Janet and John books that developed the reading skills of generations of children.
Despite the fact that (unlike today!) very few children failed to learn to read, they went out of favour and had all but disappeared other than in our nostalgic memories.
Luckily, Summersdale Publishers have published replicas of these first Janet and John stories even reproducing the original textured hardback covers.
These books would make a charming gift for someone who loves to wander down memory lane. And with a proven track record of reading success, new generations will learn to read just as their parents and grandparents before them did.
The Janet and John "Off to Play" is available online for £5.99. Click here to see more details
