We had the Janet and John books at my primary school so I missed out on these. I've found it fascinating reading all the comments from people who remember them.

I haven't read through all the comments here but yes it was the Dick and Dora (Jack, May, Nip and Fluff) series. Happy Venture Series which was what was used at my primary school. I was born in 1961. If I'm correct there were 5 books - introductory and then 1, 2, 3 and 4. I'm certain the nasturtiums in the boots was in Book 4. I think Book 4 was less colourful than the preceding ones, using a palette of just black, grey, red.<br />Best regards<br />Alison<br />from Swansea, WalesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4496559191887463909.post-65052516198807438992023-09-19T11:51:26.814+01:002023-09-19T11:51:26.814+01:00That's lovely.
