Artifact Overview

Little Golden Books transformed children's reading habits. Unlike earlier children's books that were large and costly, Little Golden Books were small, inexpensive (initially selling for 25 cents), and readily available to all. First released in 1942, the brightly colored books became a mainstay on children's bookshelves throughout the mid-20th century and beyond.
