In preparation for our new Child’s Play section on the H is for Home website, we’ve been collecting some lovely vintage children’s books. Perfect for bedtime stories!
Eye-catching colours & fab illustrations are often a good starting point for us.
We have a few series of books – including…
Mr Men… here’s Mr Jelly in action from 1970s British TV.

We were collecting these even before we had our new shop section in mind!
And this is our most recent acquisition…
It’s a 1960s listen & read-along book – complete with it’s original vinyl record!
We hope you’ve enjoyed a peek at things to come – we’ll let you know when our new section goes live.
Some of my all time faves there – the little red riding hood record is wonderful!
What a treasure trove of goodies!!! I LOVE the little record books… "You will know when it is time to turn the page when you hear this *chime*" Ah, the memories 🙂
I can remember exactly what those *chimes* sound like, even though I've not heard them for… more than 30 years!
Does anyone know of the bedtime anthology from the 1960's-1970's where the last chapter had a family of bears going through the months of the year celebrating something new that related to that particular month?? HELP! It was a favorite book of mine when I was about 6-8 (born 1974) but I don't have the book anymore and I'd like to find it again. Thank you!!
