Review: Everything I Need to Know I Learned From a Little Golden Book
If you were a fan of Little Golden Books, you’re sure to love Everything I Need to Know I Learned From a Little Golden Book by Diane Muldrow. This book uses pictures from those classic books to illustrate some terrific advice. The advice is simple but profound at times and reminds readers to step back, take a deep breath, and enjoy life.
From The Saggy Baggy Elephant by Kathryn and Byron Jackson, illustrated by Gustaf Tenggren, 1947.
This book is beautifully made. The binding is made to look like a Little Golden Book and the endpapers are the same as those found in those beloved classics. The book is printed on heavy paper and features color throughout.
Everything I Need to Know I Learned From a Little Golden Book is a quick, nostalgic read that would make a delightful gift.
This does look so cute and what a great gift idea.
Love this!!
What book lover wouldn’t be excited to receive this book!
I miss those old days of little golden books!
I’ve seen this around, but haven’t taken the time to read it- I should do that.
Oh, I hadn’t heard of this and I just love LGBs, used to have quite a big collection! Must get this and I see they are coming out with a Christmas one too! Gorgeous artists they had in the old days.
Cute! I love Little Golden Books. I even have one of my Mom’s from the early 50s.
Aw, what a cute concept! I would love this, especially since I read Little Golden Books to my boys all the time. 🙂
I was a fan of Little Golden Books, and have dug them out of storage in order to begin reading to my grandson!
