I can't think of anything earlier than this particular book (I was 9 at the time) other than a Dr. Zeuss or two and a Rusty, the Nimble Numbat that might be still hanging around in a box somewhere at Mum's, but the only book from my childhood that is still sitting on my own shelves is David Attenborough's Life On Earth (1979).
~sigh~ Sometimes I wonder if I was way too serious as a child...
