I purchased this book for my son who is 4 years old. I used to have several of these little golden books when I was a kid and I he’d got him a couple of newer little golden books (ie cars, spongebob) and he was asking about some of the characters on the back . I purchased this because he loves big treasury books and it would be cheaper than buying the classic books individually.
It might sound silly, but little golden books have the cardboard feeling cover and are a certain way and quality. This was a standard hardback book, also the stories were over two pages when opened and photos are all over the place. The illustrations are the same as the classic books, maybe a few illustrations missing because they’re crammed into a couple of pages. I would have preferred a thicker book with more pages, its much larger than standard paperbacks and larger still than many of the other large hardback books we have.
There are 30 stories :
The little poky puppy
The animals of farmer jones
Tootle
The saggy baggy elephant
The taxi that hurried
The new baby
Scruffy the tugboat
Fix it please
Noises and mr filbert- jib
Busy timmy
Little peewee or now open the box
Good morning and goodnight
Guess who lives here
The seven sneezes
Little yip-yip and his bark
The color kittens
The little fat policeman
Wheels
Tawny scrawny lion
The train to timbuctoo
Little boy with a big horn
Seven little postmen
Mister dog the dog who belonged to himself
The happy man and his dump truck
Four little kittens
The sailor dog
The fuzzy duckling
The kitten who thought he was a mouse
The friendly book
Little golden book about god
I do like that I can read these stories I grew up with to my son, but these books are much better with the short bits per page, its a nice collection though and ultimately I bought a used book for a couple of pounds which was well worth it, it did come from the States and took about a month to get here. Ultimately I would buy again and would recommend to someone looking for a variety of old stories.
