GEN: Favorite books nostalgia

[Alice Yucht <AliceInfo@aol.com>]

Am I the only one willing to admit I loooooved the Little Golden Books?
From *The Poky Little Puppy* all the way to (my all-time fave)
*The Golden Egg Book*, these were my never-fail cheer-me-ups.
My mother always kept a "sick box" filled with treasures reserved for
cheering up home-in-bed kids.  In that box (now being haggled
over by my own (grown) children) was the special "sick blanket"
(hand-crocheted by a favorite aunt from all kinds of yarn ends),
the "sick puzzle" (wooden cubes, each side a different color/colors,
for creating all kinds of new patterns), the table bell (for summoning
motherly attention), and special copies of dearly-loved books.
Over the years some of the titles changed (yeah, for a while the Oz
books were in there), but the Golden Books were always a staple.
