This time our book is a vintage Ladybird book - What to Look for in Autumn. 

Ladybird Books are a classic British brand who published hundreds of children's titles in this format, made inexpensively and sold at a low price, between 1940 and 1999.  What to Look for in Autumn is from their Nature series and was published in 1960 with illustrations by internationally renowned naturalist painter, Charles Tunnicliffe.

The story

This time our book is the children's picture book classic, The Cat in the Hat by Dr Seuss. 

Written in 1957, Dr Seuss ( the pen name of Theodor Geisel) wrote a book that he hoped 'first-graders can't put down'. He used simple phonic and high-frequency words and rhymes so that the children could learn to read it themselves.

Maybe you'll make something with a cat in a hat on it, or just a cat or just a hat or just use the colours from the cover.....or maybe you've thought of something else....
