About this deal

New theories were also being developed on how children learn to read and books and with ‘real’ stories were becoming more popular the Janet and John series was finally discontinued in 1976.

Further volumes appeared later, and the series became a sales success in the 1950s and 60s, both in the UK and in New Zealand. I remember of Janet and Jim (I think it was like that) and now I would like to get a copy of some to teach my students, with them. In addition to complying with OFAC and applicable local laws, Etsy members should be aware that other countries may have their own trade restrictions and that certain items may not be allowed for export or import under international laws.

The dog was Spot, who was a black and white cocker spaniel; the cat was Puff, who was an orange marmelade, apparently all-American domestic shorthair (formerly known as an alley cat).both my dds started on the billy blue hat books (only 4 years ago)They were just dreadful and very tatty (one of them dd1 had was printed in 1983! Library copy, 'class 3' in ink to top edge of front cover, ink stamp to top of title page, clear tape to spine, no scribbles. The Janet and John books were originally based on the Alice and Jerry series published by Row Peterson and Company in the United States, a series that had been written by Mabel O'Donnell and illustrated by Florence and Margaret Hoopes.

All I can say is that I did learn and loved every minute of it and love of reading is still way high on my list so however they taught us can't have been that bad. Light rubbing to cover edges with stubbing to corners and couple of small marks, including erased pencil marks to front; rusting to staples.

Originally published in the UK by James Nisbet and Co in 1949 the Janet and John reading scheme was one of the first to use the “look and say” approach. I thought Biff was an awesome name and raved about Floppy the dog's antics, though I always thought Kipper would have been a name better suited to a dog than a little boy!

These had a new Anglicised text by Rona Munro, wife of John Mackenzie Wood who ran Nesbit and Co; she was originally a teacher from New Zealand. I do remember liking Sandy Bear and Barny Bear, though - Barny needed earmuffs to hibernate because Sandy snored. i read janet and john at school but my real passion was for enid blyton - i loved everything she wrote! I've always been told that I memorised all the words to "The little red hen" and knew when to turn the pages at age 2, so my Father would put me down with the book in front of his amazed friends and watch me "read" the whole book, now I know how Milli Vanilli felt when getting their award. He was tested recently to ascertain his reading age and at 8y6m his results came out at 10y6m so ORT obviously did something good!This includes items that pre-date sanctions, since we have no way to verify when they were actually removed from the restricted location. Definately Janet and John but I also remember Peter and Jane, not sure if they were Ladybird books or not.

In 2007, as part of a trend in publishing nostalgic facsimiles of old favourites, Summersdale Publishers reissued two of the original Janet and John books, Here We Go and Off to Play. The radio broadcaster Terry Wogan regularly satirised the books on his BBC Radio 2 show Wake Up To Wogan by reading out stories featuring an adult Janet and John in the style of the original, deriving humour through euphemism and innuendo.
