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.
