Golden Books
Oil Impressionist
at the pictures outlining the backcover.
A couple years ago, Life Savers made tiny replicas of the books which
they gave away with their Christmas LS "books."
Does anyone remember any of the stories from the Golden Books? Or any
other special books, other than the BEST of all time--Dr. Seuss? Like
Mike Mulligan/steam shovel and Danny the Dino? The I CAN READ books?
Anyone?

Oil Impressionist knows my favorite, but the rest of you don't so I guess I
can play here. My favorite is Mike Mulligan. I loved it, even though I
hated the part where they turned him into a furnace. I mean, who wants to
be a furnace? Maybe I kept reading it because I secretly hoped they would
change the ending. I mean, well, they never did, but . . . well, I never
claimed I was a normal little kid.

Dave read Mike Mulligan to our oldest so many times he knew it by heart. It was
their favorite. That and "Lentil" with Old Sneep, sucking on a lemon. That
one's so old my dad had it when he was little.
> The I CAN READ books?
They all had the Cat in the Hat on the spine and said "I can read this by
myself." My parents had me in a book club, so I had lots of those.
What about Arch Books? They were little paperback Bible stories. I had a bunch
of those too.

make them differently now, so its not the same... my most treasured golden
book is one my grandfather gave me called "Where did the Baby Go?" It's
about a little girl that finds a picture of a baby and goes looking for her
in the house. She finds the hat the baby is wearing in her mother's closet
but not the baby... turns out to be her of course. If I may,I'd like to show
you why this book is so dear to me... my Grandfather wrote in it:
1 June 1975
To Rachel- For the past three years during the month of June, I have come to
see my grand-daughter, whom I love to call "our transplant" for without
doubt you were transplanted from heaven to us. This year I find my baby
transplant a beautiful little girl-not a baby anymore, a beautiful,
understanding and intelligent girl. Of course we will always love you but
we will never forget you as a beautiful baby for it was during your babyhood
you stole our hearts. God bless you - Popa-
So there is sits on my bookshelf, between a book about Dali and my Thomas
King. Likely the one thing, besides my cat, I'd risk my life to save from a
fire.

Mike Mulligan and the Steam Shovel was the very first book I ever had in my
life. I remember we lost my copy when we moved to a new house when I was
three. I got really upset, wanting to go back to the old house to get it, but
I never did...

I have always had a special fondness for the I CAN READ books. I remember my
excitement as they would arrive in the mail in their cardboard mailers, and can
still conjure up the weight and texture of the books clearly in my mind. I
loved Frog and Toad, the story about the boys buying the turtles from the pet
shop (blanking on the name), a book about exploring the world through library
books (blanking on that one too), Harry the Dirty Dog, the Frances books --
even had that exact blue printed tea set described in the book! Can I tell you
how excited I was as I read her description for the first time and realized I
had that same set?? I must be forgetting some other great ones from that
set... Other favorites of mine: "Lyle, Lyle Crocodile" and "In the Night
Kitchen!"
Reminds me of that great thread from earlier this year about a baby shower with
children's books as the theme. As always, thanks for the memories!

"In the Night Kitchen"--now that one was really cool! Only thing is, in the
elementary school library in my little Southern town, the pictures of the naked
boy were censored. Someone, I guess the librarian, altered them with a magic
marker. Anyone else experience this?

I didn't have the book, but I did have the album way back when. I LOVED
it....all day all night Maryann....down by the seashore sifting
sand....Everybody knows that Maryann....down by the seashore sifting sand...
That was a song on the album. Then one day it got left on the radiator and,
well, we all KNOW what happens to vinyl when left there. My brother and sister
then proceeded to play "frizbee" with it, and smashed to to smithereens!! I was
NOT very happy that day....
I really didn't have too many books as a child. But I did have a Golden Book
which was Casper the Friendly Ghost, and I do remember as Oil Impressionist
said, staring at the back cover forever. Something about all those little
characters. I still have that book and a Wonder Book, too which is Mrs. Bunny's
Surprise. (and I got those little ornament books! They're cool! )

My mom gave me a Life Savers book waaaaaaaay back when for Christmas,
and I always loved them. Well, I'm 38, and she STILL gives me one
every Christmas. So that's how I got the little LS ornament books. :-)
Sometimes it's neat when your parents still treat you like a kid.

Yep, have them too! Last year they didn't give anything, did they?? I LOVE
those tiny little lunch boxes! I've been collecting the games that are miniture
games we all grew up with. They are key chains, actually. They're so cool! I'll
have to put that lunch box on my list, Oil Impressionist,
thanks!
