70s flashback
posted:
Dad and the kids. Wheres the wife? Don't worry, shes at home making fondue.
While I appreciate that the 70s was the decade that gave us many great things (Abba, Platforms, Space hoppers, Wonder Woman... and me) when it comes to collecting old childrens books, I sort of lose interest after 1969.

However, when I found this book the other day in a local charity shop, it was so truly awful I just had to have it.   It's so bad, it's good!

Theres a lot of technical illos like this in this kids book... I could probably have done with this when I was learning to drive!
