Pat the Bunny, the Pokey Little Puppy and All the Little Golden Book Friends!

Remember Little Golden Books? Who could forget The Pokey Little Puppy, The Saggy Baggy Elephant,Tootle, the Train, The Tawny Scrawny Lion, The Shy Little Kitten, Sailor Dog, And then there is the enduring ,Pat the Bunny ; this book along with Goodnight Moon was our children first book. Every parent should be given a copy of Pat the Bunny at the birth of a child. I often give Pat the Bunny as a shower gift.

Remember all those wonderful old movie and TV classics books that Little Golden Books published? Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer, Santa's Workshop, Frosty the Snowman, Mickey Mouse, Bugs Bunny, Huckleberry Hound, The Bullwinkle Show, Yogi Bear, The Flintstones, and Bozo the Clown. Little Golden Books have printed all the Disney stories in Little Golden Books as well. A time line of Little Golden Books is like a time line of 20th century history! Little Golden Books have taken us through an era and continue to do so.

And what about all the delightful Little Golden Book authors and illustrators? Richard Scarry gave us Little Golden Bookslike Color Cats and My Very Best Little Word Book Ever. I've loved the ephemeral and lovely artwork of Eloise Wilkin, a regular Little Golden Book illustrator and author since I was a toddler. Her Prayers for Children and My Puppy are timeless. Garth Williams, known for his Little House on the Prairie book series illustrations, has lent his pen to many Little Golden Book classics, such a The Very Best Home for Me. Dr. Dan the Bandage Man, 1951, actually came with two of Johnson & Johnson's new Band-Aid Brand Adhesive Bandages (remember when they came with a little red pull string?) Can you believe that Little Golden Books have been read and loved by children for over 65 years now?
