Everything I Need To Know I Learned From A Little Golden Book (Little Golden Books (Random House)) (2013) - Plot & Excerpts
This brief nonfiction book will swiftly take many adults down memory lane into the world of reading Little Golden Books. It won't take more than 15 minutes to read the book, but the messages will last much longer. With pictures primarily from the books published in the 1940s and 1950s and contemporary words, many readers will feel a sentimental tug. So in the words of one Golden Book..."Treat Yourself. The Simplest Things are Often the Most Fun!" This book has no deeper purpose, nothing beyond the now....except....Except that every single page took me back to my childhood. I have no idea what the words might have been on the pages, I only saw the drawings. Each one illustrating a life lesson. Each one so familiar that I could name almost every book without looking at the title listed at the bottom of the page.I was lucky enough to have the Little Golden Books as a set of 45s. Each book was read aloud, and every story had a song. The song for the "Pokey Little Puppy" will now play in my head for the next few days, and I will think back to long afternoons in my room, turning the pages as each beep sounded, safe and secure with the knowledge that all was right in my world.
