OLd Lob

Who remembers Old Lob and his farmyard animals?
It was my first reader and I remember it almost verbatim.

I remember Farmer Lob - though I thought I was the only one who did! When I mentioned them once to Mr Spudqueen (who is the same age as myself) he rolled around the floor laughing! I learnt to read with these books at primary school in the 60s.

I've been thinking about Farmer Lob and I'm not really sure I remember the stories - except, was there one about a chick which only had one eye, one wing and one leg?

I remember Old Lob. Everyone seems to think that Janet and John books were the first ones used in schools but this is not so. I guess you must be around 50 (or even older) same as me. My brother is 3 years younger and has no idea who Old Lob was!!!

I'm only 46 - maybe my school didn't spend money on books!
