Of course it is! The Formica tables, trilby hats, milkmen and grocer boys all tell you that this book belongs to a bygone era, not to mention the fact that dad is the only one who goes to work, leaving mum to look after the house. Some things will be unfamiliar to today\u2019s children, and would probably benefit from a conversation to explain how things have changed, but I think that's a good thing because it starts a discussion about gender roles etc. I'm sure some will say that the book is twee, stereotypical and old-fashioned, but does this affect the enjoyment of the reading it in 2021?
