A Family Treasury of Little Golden Books,
This review is from: A Family Treasury of Little Golden Books: 46 Best-Loved Stories (Hardcover)
This is a wonderful selection of children's stories. I remember them from my childhood and own many of the individual books. Unfortunately, while the original little books had illustrations and a short text on each page, only a fraction of the pictures from each story have been retained for the treasury. In some extreme cases the text of 15-20 page picture books has been included all on one page with 1-2 small pictures. My 4 year old finds these somewhat boring, though she has loved the original books since before age 2. This book is worth buying if you don't have access to the originals, but it would be much better for young children if they had included more of the art which captures the imagination.

This review is from: A Family Treasury of Little Golden Books: 46 Best-Loved Stories (Hardcover)
I purchased this book for my 15 month old son because I had such fond memories of Little Golden Books from my own childhood. At such a young age, my son needs to have pictures to follow the story - and this book is missing 90% of the pictures!!!! Each story is crammed into one or two pages, and the pictures, if they are shown at all, are out of order and tiny! I am returning this book, a little wiser about children's book "collections". Final analysis - the book is okay if you are an adult who just wants the nostalgia of the old Golden Book stories, but definitely not for young children.

Not the same,

This review is from: A Family Treasury of Little Golden Books: 46 Best-Loved Stories (Hardcover)
This is a great book don't get me wrong but they are not the same as the individual books I grew up with - the pictures are smaller and that diminishes the effect of the story to a certain extent when the kid looks at the book with you whiel you read it. A little disappointing :(
