Ladybird series 737
Leaders
38 titles published between 1940 and 1980

Lots of interesting subjects were tackled in this series – the history of Bread and how it was made through the ages, the source of The Stream along with a close look at the life that survives in it’s environment, and Man in the Air reveals the history of flight from the early days of Icuarus to modern jet engine aircraft.

These were non-fiction reading books designed to stimulate reluctant readers.

The subject matter and the vocabulary used in these books were selected with expert assistance, and the brief and simple text was printed in large, clear type.

In these books children’s questions were anticipated and the facts were presented in a logical sequence.
