Little Golden Books changed that! Sold where people shopped every day, they caused an instant sensation and were soon purchased by the hundreds of thousands. Little Golden Books have been loved by children for over 75 years! When they were first published in 1942, high-quality books for children hadn't been available at a price most people could afford. Delightful to read aloud, The Poky Little Puppy is a cherished story that every child should know.
The story of a curious puppy, who digs holes under fences and who has to go to bed without any strawberry shortcake, has delighted families for generations. The Poky Little Puppy was one of the original twelve Little Golden Books published in 1942, and went on to become the bestselling picture book of all time. Five little puppies dug a hole under the fence and went for a walk in the wide, wide world.
