Ladybird series 792
Sunbird Reading Scheme
4 titles published between 1940 - 1980

Another short-lived Reading Scheme series designed for children from an Afro-Carribean background - not related to the Key Words Reading Scheme that Ladybird produced in the 1960s and not nearly as popular - however these books do offer the young readers an engaging experience through the use of good imagery and simple text.

It was originally thought that there were six book published in this series before, and inclusive of 1980 but after querying Copac it turns out that only four were published with a further 2 titles being added to the series in 1982.

Books in series 792 - There were 6 titles published in this series between 1940 and 1980 inclusive. Click on any title to see the first edition, synopsis and other information.
