In the 1950s and ‘60s, if there were any children’s books in a house, at least one of them was likely to be a Little Golden Book. With their golden spines and brightly colored pictures, they begged to be grabbed off a shelf by a curious child — which is exactly what their creators intended. Those beloved books celebrate their 75th birthday this year.

Very important anniversary! 🐶  -Emily

We had a whole section in History of Printed Children’s Literature all about these books! I can’t believe they’re 75 already!
