Ahh! This brings forth memories of childhood.

Timmy bunny, who lives by the deep blue sea; wakes up one sunny morning and decides it would be a perfect day for a swim. So, off he sets out to wake his siblings, including Bunny Bluebell, and his cousins who all live at No. 10.

At the sea-shore they find a green umbrella - and that is where the story really starts.

The whole thing is told in rhyme - almost like little haikus, which are accompanied by a small stamp sized blue ink line drawing on the left hand page and a beautiful colour, full page illustrations on the right.

My personal copy has no date except for a © MCML, but the 40p Net price betrays the supposition that my book dates from 1950. More likely a mid seventies reprint. Still very nice little story.
My classroom had a whole cupboard full of these Ladybird stories and I must have scanned through every copy between the ages of three to five. ( )

This copy is a presentation copy to my son, David, from the Fairhills Playgroup, Irlam.
