Yay!! It's Vintage Thingies Thursday, hosted by Suzanne at ColoradoLady!
This week I have a Little Golden Book that was well loved by my sister, as you can see from the peeling cover and the taped repairs by our mom.
The back of the book has little pictures of some of our all-time favorites like the Pokey Little Puppy, the Little Engine that Could, and Smokey the Bear.
Good Little, Bad Little Girl has great Hollie Hobbie-ish illustrations, of a little girl from the early 1800s.
It's sort of like Goofus and Gallant in Highlights magazine, with one boy doing things properly and politely and the other being rude and self-centered, except in this story the reader finds out at the end that the good girl and bad girl are the same person. Doesn't she look totally evil slurping her porridge?
Suzanne has all of the Vintage Thingies Thursday participants listed at ColoradoLady for your viewing enjoyment. Hope you'll be back next week!
With less than 2 weeks until Halloween, I am offering free shipping and 25% off all Halloween jewelry, cards, and banners at my etsy shop, Little Somethings! Stop in and see if anything catches your eye.

I remember this book! I want to collect all of the Little Golden books from my childhood, hopefully at garage sales!

That is such a neat little book. You have a real vintage treasure there.
ReplyDeleteThat's a cute book.
ReplyDeleteI don't have any of my old Golden Books. The only title I can remember is "Doctor Dan the bandage Man." I remember that one because it came with Band-aids.
I love Little Golden Books. I collect them and have lots, but I don't have this one. It's the first time I've seen one like it. I love the pictures.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you showed the back of the book - brought back memories of what my next book would be. And Holly Hobbie! That was early 70's I think.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet little book. It looks well loved.
