In 1942, the launch of Little Golden
Books revolutionized children’s book publishing by making
high-quality picture books available at affordable prices. More
than 60 years later, many of the original Golden Book titles are
still wildly popular, with The Poky Little Puppy topping the list
of ten bestselling children’s books of all time. Golden Books’
backlist is teeming with classics such as Dorothy Kunhardt’s Pat
the Bunny, and features the stories and artwork of children’s book
legends Mary Blair, Margaret Wise Brown, Richard Scarry, Eloise
Wilkins, Garth Williams, and many more. Today, the Golden
Books imprint includes an array of storybooks, novelty books, and
coloring and activity books featuring all of the most popular
licenses, including Disney, Nickelodeon, Barbie, Thomas & Friends,
The Cat in the Hat, Sesame Street, Marvel Super Heroes, and DC
Super Friends. Golden Books continues to reissue the best of
its backlist in a variety of formats, including ebooks and apps, as
well as bringing out brand-new books in these evolving new
formats.
