Whether you’re an illustrator, a parent, or merely nostalgic for these long out-of-print titles, the Golden Gems blog is sure to please.
This one to the left is Never Pet Pat a Bear – a Book about Signs by Mabel Watts, illustrated by Art Seiden, 1971.

Never PET a bear?
Looks like someone needs to work on their reading fundamentals! Repeat after me: A, B, C…

Good memories, I had so many Golden Books. I used to like lining them up in a way that the spines matched to form a picture

I used to get a Golden Book every time we went grocery shopping when I was a kid. That was such a treat back then.

The world was sure a great deal better before Political Correctness raised it’s socialist head.

Yes, PAT. As in “pat a bear on the head.”
I also used toline them up because of the pattern on the spine.
I did not see “The Man and His Dump Truck” there.

Pet … Pat. Same difference. Plus, picking on typos on Neatorama is like picking on the littlest runt in the playground.

Even as a kid I found most Golden Books rather watered down and lame. But I loved The Poky Little Puppy.

It’s kind of scary how many of those Christmas Golden Books I had.
I’m 24. I guess we like to recycle in my family?
