Everyone's Favorites - Little Golden Books
Little Golden Books were first published in 1942 beginning with 12 titles and new titles are still being published today. In fact, many of the original titles from years ago are still available today. They are easily recognizable by their golden colored binding.
As I was growing up, I had a large collection of Little Golden Books that I remember quite fondly. My mother liked to read to my siblings and I. I remember many nights, sitting on the couch all around my mom and on her lap with my brothers while she read to us. The little golden books were a staple in our earliest years. After that, the age relevance of the books grew along with us.
My children benefited from that collection of Little Golden Books. I wasn't as diligent reading to my children as my mother was reading to us, but we did own the books and read them fairly regularly.
Now that I have grandchildren, I enjoy watching my children read to them. The Grandkids will the Little Golden Books tradition just the same as I did.
