When I was a young child, I enjoyed reading from the My Little Golden Book Series. Back in the days before personal computers, cell phones and cable television (yes, I'm that old) children often had to amuse themselves by reading a book, especially if it was raining and you couldn't go outside to play! Grandmother had a lot of these books. Many of them were holiday books but they were still wonderful. I remember one about a boy who earned 5 pennies and bought things to help his friends with. It was always wonderful to sit on Grandmother's lap and have her read these stories to me or I would read them to her. Grand memories.
I have collected some of those books over the years. I didn't get any of Grandmother's because I did not have children and others did. That was only fair. But every now and then I will see one at a great price and snatch it up. Several years ago for Christmas, Michael gave me the My Little Golden Book about Betty White. This one is nonfiction and covers her life story. It's a sweet book and remarkably accurate on her life. I have a small Golden Girls collection, and this has definitely added to it. I know they have done other biographies for MLGB such as Dolly Parton, Queen Elizabeth and Lucille Ball.
I look forward to finding more of these books on my shopping adventures and sitting down to read them. Good times!
