From left to right: Lúlú, Rírá, Neilí and Micí.

These characters from from some very old Irish textbooks for infants in primary school.
You can see them here:

Even I remember them when I was young!
They've been reprinted recently and I thought, hey, why not draw 'em? So here you go!

So humour me: are there any animal characters you remember from school textbooks? What do they look like?
