Little Golden Books
 

OMG, Blast from the Past......

Last night, I bought myself a new copy of "Seven Little Postmen".

I almost wept. I'm a sentimental fool.

Now all I need to get is:
The Colo[u]r Kittens
TootleScuffy the Tugboat
Mr Dog
The Sailor Dog
The Tawny Scrawny Lion
The Little Red Caboose
Richard Scarry's Good Night Little Bear
The Night Before Christmas
Tom & Jerry's Christmas
Bozo The Clown
My first counting book
Brer Rabbit and the tar baby

...and I'll be happy.

Of course, there were many others, but these were the most fondly remembered of all.

Omg! Tawny Scrawny Lion! My favorite!!!!

Next time your out, you'll have to ask Lisa to show you her collection

For those of you Mary Blair fans, the classic I Can Fly:

It's not a Golden Book, but talking of collectables, I still have my large hardcover copy of the original "Richard Scarry's 'What Do People Do All Day' " given to me in 1971 :blush:

Bear...Bear!!!

It's been ages since you had a large hardover [sic].

No wonder they call them Golden Books, and it worries me that the author was Dick Scarry...

Love and hugs,

Goodness, I've married a man with a one track mind......


.....and it's a Dirt track.

:p

Are you complaining or bragging? It's hard to tell.

:p

I am partial to Scuffy the Tugboat and The Saggy Baggy Elephant.

Dear Stan4DSteph,

They had a copy of the Saggy Baggy Elephant, which I recognised instantly. Isn't it funny what you can remember over decades of time...

Love and hugs,

The Stoat XXX.

I got the chance to see a bazillion of them in the Archives on the Disney lot... it was sort of soul-satisfying to see that they've kept a copy of each of theirs in one place.

Here's a good blog for Disney related Golden Books

Well, there goes the rest of this afternoon. Cool!

I love Little Golden books, and Richard Scarry is one of the first books I bought for my first nephew :)

Many of the Little Goldens come back into print every now and then. Nostalgia sells them.

We just bought a pack of Disney Little Golden Books for our niece.

Before she was born, my sister had a baby shower. For gifts, she asked everyone bring a copy of their favorite book from their own childhood.

That little girl has a heckuva library.

That is a great idea.

Seriously great idea.

One of my favorite childhood books is The Monster at the End of this Book. I don't think it's a Little Golden Book. I should go dig up my Little Golden Books though.

We had a ton of them for Maddy. I also have my old Richard Scary one's and my Mother Goose.

I remember The Poky Liittle Puppy.

:)

That's a classic! and, yes, it was once published in the Golden Books format. It's currently available in a softback format.

I used to read this out loud in my best Grover voice over and over, to the delight of my family, I'm sure.

The Poky Little Puppy

I still have most of mine including the Disney ones.

I have a huge collection of them. I wanted to make sure Zach was able to read them too!

My daughter loved all books. My older son loved the Richard Scary books. My younger son loved all books but loved 'Frog and Toad'.

Books are my passion. Childrens' books. I think that idea about the baby shower is brilliant!!!

A favorite with them all, 'Miss Suzy'.

I have a boxful somewhere. My mother used to buy one just about every week for my sister and me. I pulled them all out when my son was little and he was quite underwhelmed. (Newer picture books were just fine.) But that means my books didn't get any more worn out than when I read them. I'll have to dig them out and see what I've got.
