	New Statesman - Age of innocence
		As the most illustrious of the illustrators for the Ladybird children's books, Wingfield set the tone for the publisher and created a distinctive look: bright primary colours, blue skies, cotton-wool clouds and children running around, limbs akimbo, when they weren't trying to mend kites or conduct wide-eyed experiments on miniature pulleys.
		For anyone under the age of 50, a glance at an old Ladybird book is a peek into a lost age of innocence.
		It goes unmentioned in the books because it is something we were unaware of at the time.

	Ladybird - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ladybirds (Commonwealth English), also known as ladybugs (American English, Canadian English) or lady beetles (some scientists favor this) are a family, Coccinellidae ("little sphere"), of beetles; the name is thought to allude to the Blessed Virgin Mary in the Catholic faith.
		Ladybirds are small insects, ranging from 1 mm to 10 mm (0.04 to 0.4 inches), and are usually yellow, orange, or red with small fl spots on their carapace, and fl legs, head and feelers.
		Ladybirds are beneficial to organic gardeners because most species are insectivores, consuming aphids, fruit flies, thrips, and other tiny plant-sucking insects that damage crops.

		For the general reader the book is a mine of information on the evolution of the LTTE which corresponds with that of the guerrilla leader.

		Cinderella (1964), the first book of series 606d, was the only one to be issued with a dust wrapper as 1965 saw Ladybird doing away with dust wrapper, but producing matt pictorial boards instead.
		Also in the 80's Ladybird starting using photography instead of illustrations in some of their books - for some reason these were not as popular as the more beautifully illustrated earlier books.

	The Looking Glass - Alice's Academy
		Because Ladybirds are essentially candy-coated word strings, it doesn't matter much if you read the first books from top to bottom or from bottom to top of a page or from back to front of the book or front to back.
		The Ladybirds are tidily housed in a set of custom-made elevated wooden book shelves in a front corner of the classroom (in contrast to the trade books stashed in washbasins, remember, under the desks).
		Ladybird illustrations are as monologic as the texts -- but Matt's teacher informed me that she thought children learning to read shouldn't attend to the illustrations anyway.
