I looooooove op shops and have
scored many bargains in my time. My latest 'find' wasn't actually a
purchase. I found them in a box labelled free as I was leaving the shop
with my $1 cut glass bowl. It was a huge stack of 30 Little Golden
Books- the kids got 15 each : ).
I loved these as a kid and would write my name in that wee space in the front as soon as I got them in order to secure them as mine.
My favourites were There's a Monster at the end of the book ( go Grover), The poky little puppy, The Saggy Baggy Elephant, Cinderella ( loved the mice) and Good Little Bad Little Girl. My mum read the later one to me quite a bit I think as I have strong memories of the book. I think she was trying to tell me something!

Here's a link to a Little Golden Books page with the story behind the books, activities and where to buy them, http://www.randomhouse.com/golden/lgb/story.html

I love Golden Books and I always keep an eye out for them when hunting around the op shops.
ReplyDeletewhat a score Becky!! and BTW you are such a Good little Girl now but you had your moments back then!!
ReplyDeleteI also love golden books! Amazing free find :) I still have a few left over from when I was little, I just love the stories.
ReplyDeletewow that is an impressive score!
ReplyDeleteWhat a score! We are big poky little puppy fans here, we had to find a copy as it was husbands fave when he was little. Recently we found a few that belonged to him when he was little including one called mr dog, inscribed from his mum and dad-very precious as his father died when he was 5 and he has few momentoes of him. So glad you could link up x
