Appalling! No guard rail on that trampoline, the boy taking an active role while the girl merely looks on, no ethnic minorities present, no recognition of the sufferings of those who made the trampoline and clothes, and the trans paedophile in the background is playing a minor role.
Seeing that book brought back many memories of teaching my children to read. I had a large leather armchair and the children would sit on the arms, with the little one on my lap (although only very young she wanted to do everything that the three older children did).
As the children grew older the books changed to stories. Their favourites were 'Jennings and Darbyshire' (The story of the Recorder and the Music-stand was the most read) also 'Swallows and Amazons'.
DAD - I remember a few Jennings books, in particular I remember them calling each other an "addlepated clodpoll". Not sure why that stuck in my mind but it did. Fits a few politicians of today.

Indeed.
Sam - and the girl seems to be applauding instead of dutifully informing the authorities about the lack of a guard rail.
James - saw it in an antiques shop. It's older than I thought - sixties as I recall.

Happy memories.
