I'm a big fan of Little Golden Books, in part because I remember loving them so much as a child. And now I love to get them for my kids! Unfortunately, sometimes they don't seem to be as well-made as the ones I remember, so that, combined with my kids' rough treatment of some books, can be problematic. But If you get the books that combine several stories in a single volume, the construction tends to be better, in my experience. With that in mind, I recommend:
- 65 Years of Little Golden Books
, which includes The Poky Little Puppy, Tootle, The Saggy Baggy Elephant, Tawny Scrawny Lion, Scuffy the Tugboat, and The Shy Little Kitten.
- Little Golden Book Boxed Set Classic Collection
(no repeats from the one above!)
- Sleepytime Tales
, including The Poky Little Puppy, Baby Dear, The Color Kittens, Good Night Little Bear, The Wonderful House, The Friendly Book, The Three Bears, The Sailor Dog, The Boy and the Tigers, I Can Fly, The Sleepy Book, and How The Turtle Got Its Shell
- Little Golden Book Collection: Farm Tales
- Little Golden Book Collection: Animal Tales
- Little Golden Book Collection: Inspirational Tales
, which includes Prayers for Children, with lovely old-fashioned illustrations
- A Family Treasury of Little Golden Books: 46 Best-Loved Stories
- Butterfly Kisses
, a sweet story about a father and daughter that Big Girl just loves.
Yeah, yeah. It's Friday, but I think I was sufficiently vague about posting book recs on or around Thursday...
