Yes, I'm a stalker- hope you don't mind. :) Just wanted to say thank you for helping me figure out my plans for this weekend.

She loves all of my old Golden books and I've added to these as much as possible from thrift stores. It makes me sad about our society that these beautiful illustrated, well written books used to be books you could grab at the supermarket; now all you can buy at the supermarket are some cross-marketed junky books with TV show characters and no plot.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15418410076420326952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5030761737597217504.post-44423471940429459052009-08-05T09:51:17.426-05:002009-08-05T09:51:17.426-05:00Oh, how I love Little Golden Books.

That sounds like rewarding bad behavior, but really, it was for the other shoppers. Ha. I think your carnival book would be a 1967-68, because of the Chevelle in the picture. Chevrolet dealer's wife has to know a little sumpin' about them. Little Boy with a Drum was my son's favorite Little Golden Book. The books are in the den in the basement in a big rubbermaid box. I treasure them all.<br />My children are 34, 32, and 27 and we talk about Darby and what you are doing, just as if you were a relative. Thanks so much for taking the time to blog.

I even loved GB so much that I would give them as birthday presents; even until the 4th grade (oh, those poor, embarassed kids). HA!

They are favorites of my children and now, my grandchildren. <br /><br />When my children were little they called the thrift store "the stinky store".
