When I was a little girl growing up, I had a small board book with 26 pages, 26 beautiful illustrations and 26 fabulous words against those letters.
30 years on, I still remember them all, and try to encourage my children to live by them too.

Thanks Nic. I can remember it so clearly, and the illustrations. Must try and find it. X
I think I had the same book! In fact it may be in my attic. I shall have a lookie for it one day 🙂
I’ve just found it on Amazon! Wasn’t it beautifully written?!
