About the author

In 1942, the launch of Little Golden Books revolutionized children’s book publishing by making high-quality picture books available at affordable prices. More than 60 years later, many of the original Golden Book titles are still wildly popular, with The Poky Little Puppy topping the list of ten bestselling children’s books of all time. Golden Books’ backlist is teeming with classics such as Dorothy Kunhardt’s Pat the Bunny, and features the stories and artwork of children’s book legends Mary Blair, Margaret Wise Brown, Richard Scarry, Eloise Wilkins, Garth Williams, and many more. Today, the Golden Books imprint includes an array of storybooks, novelty books, and coloring and activity books featuring all of the most popular licenses, including Disney, Nickelodeon, Barbie, Thomas & Friends, The Cat in the Hat, Sesame Street, Marvel Super Heroes, and DC Super Friends.

I love this little treasury. It contains nine Little Golden books in one lovely volume with ALL the pictures. And the pictures are the right size, not all shrunken down and microscopic. Basically it looks just like the books you read as a child, only it's really fat because there are several together.

My boys have all enjoyed these (even the bigger ones read them on their own).

This collection contains the following stories:

The Saggy Baggy Elephant
The Kitten Who Thought He Was a Mouse
How the Leopard Got Its Spots
Mister Dog
Animal Friends
The Big Brown Bear
Home for a Bunny
How the Camel Got Its Hump
Tawny Scrawny Lion

A very affordable way to collect the Golden books.

Awesome book! This collection has 9 stories and my favorite is "Tawny Scrawny Lion"! I like to read this before I go to bed and I've been doing it the whole time I've been in Ireland!

My son loved the pictures and there are many different animals throughout the book. The story lines weren’t always the greatest, but the pictures seemed to captivate him and he paid attention well considering his age of 2. Some pages depict older times where someone smoking a pipe in a children’s book is acceptable.

Well put together collection of nine beautiful tales with an animal theme. If you know children this is a great collection to have readily available for sharing with young minds and to delight all ages.

A fantastic gift for a baby shower! This is a precious collection of Golden Book classics like Mister Dog and Baby Animals. It's an excellent book for bedtime - so many gorgeous illustrations and stories parents won't mind reading repeatedly.
