| 1. Treasure Island (Golden Illustrated Classic, Unabridged) | 
|
By: Robert Louis Stevenson
Publisher: Golden Books
1977-06
There are few novels that have had as much influence in popular culture as "Treasure Island." Pirates with talking parrots, treasure maps, mutiny, deceit, this novel has it all. In spite of this, a great many individuals pass on reading the book because they think it is simply a childrens story. If you are leaning toward this bias, you should know that this claim is not true; the novel is filled with... more

| 2. Alice in Wonderland / Through the Looking Glass (Golden Glow in the Dark Books) | 
|
By: Lewis Carroll
Publisher: Golden Books
1986-10
I love Alice in Wonderland. I've been reading it since I was a small child, hence I can honestly say that whoever retyped this for the Kindle did a shoddy (my peers would say "half-assed") job. Oh, it's readable, don't get me wrong. But if we'd bought this as a paperback, there would be an outcry, so why not shout out one for the eBook crowd? Shame on you!
There are tons of typos... more

Each of my babies enjoyed this interactive book, where they got to pet the bunny's soft fur on one page, feel daddy's scratchy face on another, etc. I purchased this book as a gift for a new parent, & it arrived quickly and in excellent condition... more

Publisher: Golden Books

I bought what I thought was a just used copy of the Velveteen Rabbit board book and I got a book that was as good as new that was signed by the illustrator. What a surprise and a delight. I am hoping it becomes the first in a collection of classic books in my granddaughter's library. Thank you... more

By: Jon Stone

What you have to do is read it out loud the right way to build up the suspense and whatnot. SUPER CUTE!!! We got this book because it was a favorite of my husband's when he was little. I had never heard of it before. OMG so cute! Why had I never heard of this when I was little? Our toddler loves this book and wants us to read it to her over and over and over again.

| 7. Cars and Trucks and Things That Go (Giant Little Golden Book) |
|
By: Richard Scarry
Publisher: Golden Books
June 01, 1998
I purchased this for my two year old grandson. He loves all kinds of cars and trucks but this book is not a favorite. I purchased it because my daughter in law said her [...] daughter loved it. Although he likes the pictures and will call out some of the cars like the alligator car, it doesn't seem to hold his attention. The story doesn't interest him and the cars may be too fanciful. He can identify... more

| 10. Betty Crocker's Cookbook |
|
By: Golden Books
Publisher: Golden Books
August 01, 1986
I love this cookbook. My mom gave it to me when I got my first apartment, and with its help, I went from barely boiling Ramen to being a passable cook. The recipes are pretty good, but what I like the most are the introductory passages at the beginning of each recipe category. I left home not knowing how to hard-boil an egg, so I love having instructions for both very basic and relatively advanced... more
