I do like the old Little Golden Books but even better for me are the Little Elf Books published in the 1950s and 1960s by Rand-McNally. They have a small, pocket-book format, nice old-fashioned paper stock and the cutest illustrations. My favourite of all is Tommy's Tooth, about a boy who loses his first tooth. I think I like it because the boy looks just like my son and he wears cute stripey pyjamas!
