We've received two of these Golden Book Collections as gifts. They are probably geared towards kids more in the preschool age range, but there are a few stories that Caleb likes. Each collection has nine classic Golden Book stories, all bound into one big book.
And guess who showed up a few times in each book? Margaret Wise Brown. I think we have most of her books now. The Wonderful House and Home for a Bunny are probably my favorites in these books. I've starred all the books by MWB.
Animal Tales includes: The Saggy Baggy Elephant, The Kitten Who Thought He Was a Mouse, How the Leopard Got Its Spots, Mister Dog*, Animal Friends, The Big Brown Bear, Home for a Bunny*, How the Camel Got Its Hump, Tawny Scrawny Lion.
Sleepytime Tales includes: The Poky Little Puppy, Baby Dear, The Color Kittens*, Good Night Little Bear, The Wonderful House*, The Sleepy Book*, The Three Bears, The Boy and the Tigers, How the Turtle Got Its Shell.
See any that you loved growing up?
I'm pretty sure I had the Poky Puppy one. I don't let Jack near any book that isn't a board book. He would just rip the pages. Can't wait to read him some classics!
