I'm going to be stuck with the Little Golden Book page alone for hours.
On the plus side, if I can snaffle the scans and make a pdf I have save a lot of money not buying copies for any kids that come into my extended family, and protect my own cherished LG books.
They can read 'em on the iPad.
I was thumbing through a sale lot the other day of LGBs and I swear every single one was a licenced property. The lack of the Little Red Caboose made me sad.
Some books may be unsuitable for modern sensibilities (Little Black Sambo), but I think they're important historical artifacts which must be saved and shared with kids at the appropriate time. posted by Mezentian at 9:54 PM on June 11, 2012

Yayyyy The Color Kittens, the best book ever that I had memorized by age 4 and pretended to read. Nice poetry, nice pictures, and it told you how to mix colors.

Baldwin library! I researched there during grad school. It's a totally magical, Rowlingesque place. posted by PhoBWanKenobi at 7:09 PM on June 12, 2012
