Now, more than 60 years later, Ladybird Books is publishing a new series under the same title, written by Elizabeth Jenner and illustrated by Natasha Durley. Like the originals, they aim to inspire budding young naturalists to learn more about the wild creatures they might see during the different seasons.
Publishing director Shannon Cullen aims to build on Ladybird’s famous brand, whose books sold in their millions. “We’re currently witnessing a trend towards exploring outside as an antidote to screen time. We wanted to pay homage to our heritage by reimagining this series for a new generation of children.”
