Everything I Need To Know I Learned From a Little Golden Book: An Inspirational Gift Book

This book!! Oh my heart be still!! It has such precious picture memories from Little Golden books, with short sayings that everyone should live by. I highly recommend this book for older adults that grew up reading classic Little Golden books. Not recommended for kids or young adults as they won’t be able to relate.

I first received this Little Golden Book as a gift and loved it so much that I’ve since purchased several copies to share with others. Anyone who grew up with these books will instantly connect to the nostalgic charm and uplifting messages. And if you’re not already familiar with Little Golden Books, this is the perfect one to start with.

This is a cute gift for an elderly person, it's nostalgic.

This is a great book to have and to give as a gift. I have probably given 20 away, as I give a program about the Little Golden Books. Many of us were raised on them and this book has a compilation of over 40 pictures from them, with words of wisdom and encouragement for life. Highly recommend!!!

I bought 2 of these to give to my 2 daughters for Christmas. They loved them & enjoyed their walk down memory lane as they read through the book, reminiscing all the stories I used to read them when they were younger.

I thought this book looked like it might be something fun to include in a birthday basket of assorted small gifts for a few women friends. The book has a lot of colorful, child-like illustrations and some look vintage. The captions are aimed more at adults, as expected, of course. The book is as one might expect - a fun extra gift; nothing earth shattering about the captions.

I saw this book in a bookstore a couple towns away when I was out on a day trip with my best friend, and wanted to get it for her birthday desperately, but knew I couldn't buy it there because she was with me. I immediately looked on Amazon as soon as I get home, and not only did they have it, but it was HALF THE PRICE as in the store, and I could get 2 day shipping with my Prime Account! Amazing. Not only did my best friend love her gift, but it was a hit with ALL the women at the dinner party. Everyone passed it around, utterly delighted with the memories it brought back of our own childhoods. This book is cleverly put together, delightful to look through, and a joy to own, share, or give as a gift. I highly recommend it...for the child in all of us.

Lately, I've been building up my almost-five-year-old son's library of Little Golden Books. I had quite a collection when I was a child, but somewhere in the many moves of my childhood, my books were lost. Diane Muldrow's book could not have come out at a better time for me. I was thrilled to see that we already have the five LGBs featured in her foreword. I knew then that we were on the right track. In Everything I Need to Know I Learned From a Little Golden Book, Diane Muldrow took illustrations from classic LGBs and linked them together with some basic and good advice for life. Some of the advice is obvious, but that makes it no less sound: For example "Don't forget to enjoy your wedding". I can't count the number of recent weddings that I've attended where the bride looked like she forgot to have fun. And "Let your children know you love them". Actually, I think that is the best advice in the book. The artwork is phenomenal -- the best of the best in vintage Little Golden Book illustrations. I am happy to say that we own at least half of the books featured, and now I know which ones I need to replace.

L leave this beautifully illustrated book which is actually for us adults in my guest room. The pages are quoted with ideas of how we can better live and appreciate or lives. Y

Diane brings new life to The Golden Books and brings such happiness into our lives. You can not read this book without smiling! I'm so proud one of my father's illustrations from Pantaloon is included- just in a totally different context: " Try a new look!" Highly recommended!

Perfect for my needs

Not for the grown ups,meant for kids .....a full page picture with a single line useful message written at top of page.....could be a gift for children to make them understand important life advice but definitely a strict no for grown ups !! And ya paper quality is superb!
