I’ve sold lots of these little books over the years but had no idea just how popular they were until I came across an Ant and Bee fan club on Facebook! 'More Ant and Bee' was written by Angela Banner and originally published in 1955, the copy shown here is a reprint published in 1993.
The first book in the series (Ant and Bee) contained simple three-letter words, and this second book is made up of four-letter words. Now out-of-print and very hard to find.
This book now sold, thank you for your interest.
Update July 2016: Some of the Ant and Bee books were reprinted by Trafalgar Square Publishing in the late 1980s and early 1990s. More new editions came out in 2013. These were published by Egmont UK. The books are much easier to find now so if you are looking for them browsing on ABEbooks.com or Amazon should prove fruitful.

I can't remember anything about the content of these books at all, but the cover is so
ReplyDeleteThe illustrations are fun! I will add a scan of one to this post asap.
ReplyDeleteI have some of these that shaped my childhood and early learning in the seventies. My english grandma bought them for me. I had so much fun and feel lucky. I got the later editions when I was reading with my kids in the 2008-2013 time frame. I find it hard to believe there not enough of an audience to print them now.
ReplyDeleteI don’t think there have been any new publications since 2014, but I could be wrong. They are delightful little books, but perhaps not so interesting to today’s tech-savvy children. Thank you for leaving a comment. Best wishes, Barbara
