When the Little Golden Books were launched in 1942 at 25 cents each, they changed publishing history. For the first time, children´s books were high quality, delightfully illustrated, low-priced and available to almost all children, not just a privileged few. Over the years the offerings have grown to include a host of beloved characters drawn from literature, fairy tales, television and popular culture.
A classic Sesame Street Little Golden Book celebrating the wonders, curiosities, and beauty of our world!
An early Sesame Street Little Golden Book about celebrating the wonders, curiosities, and beauty of our world returns to the line after more than thirty years! First published in 1984, this collection of short, sweet poems celebrates friendship, imagination, curiosity, music, the beauty of the natural world, and more. The poetry is written in the voices of Big Bird, Cookie Monster, Grover, Bert, Ernie, Mr. Snuffleupagus, and others. Girls and boys ages 3 to 7 will read--and find gentle reassurance--about other topics, such as being the new kid, mastering simple skills, and feeling embarrassed. The vibrant art has a nostalgic retro look that depicts the Sesame Street Muppets and Monsters in a way not often seen in later books.
