Little Golden Books took society by storm in the 1950's, and this year, the series celebrates it's 75th birthday!
Reading material for kids was expensive right after WWII, so when Little Golden Books came out complete with colorful illustrations and catchy titles in the 1950's, the books were an instant hit!

Titles such as The Poky Little Puppy (the series' shining star), Tootle the Train, The Saggy Baggy Elephant, The Shy Little Kitten, The Little Red Caboose and more littered the homes of families everywhere throughout the 50's and into the 60's. Many of the books have become classics, and their titles, household names.
