Little Golden Books is a popular series of children's books. The first 12 titles were published October 1, 1942.
The Little Golden Books, which initially sold for 25¢, were published by Simon and Schuster in cooperation with the Artist and Writers Guild, Inc.
Western Printing and Lithographing Company in Racine, Wisconsin, was Simon and Schuster's partner in the Little Golden Books venture. Western handled the actual printing. In 1958, Simon and Schuster sold its interest in Little Golden Books to Western.
Ownership and control of the series has changed several times since. In 2001, Random House acquired Golden Books for about 85 million dollars.

My favorite was about a prince looking for the best thing in life and finding it in a loaf of brown bread hidden inside a tree. I'd love to find that one again...
