Little Golden Books Classic Titles - Preschool, Kindergarten, Child's Library, Classroom, Daycare - Printed in USA

To our American Customers: unfortunately, we can not ship to the U.S. at this time. We sincerely hope that processes are soon put into place that will allow for the collection and remittance of new tariffs so we can once again ship our “wild finds” to you. Until then, please accept our apologies and continue supporting our small business by “favoriting” the treasures you love, and “following” our shop. Thanks, so much!

As with all vintage books, wear including scuffing, fading, dog ears, crushed/soft cover corners, minor tears etc., are to be expected. Our books are sold in “as is” condition. Some are “like new” while others bear signs of being much loved over many decades. Significant flaws (large tears, scribbles, inscriptions, water damage) are noted by book title (see above), and in photos where space permits. Please note: photos represent the titles available, not necessarily the copy you will receive, so please read the attached descriptions where notable flaws are mentioned. Although we do our best to keep photos and descriptions up-to-date, sometimes copies sell faster than we can amend the listing so, again, be aware that you might not receive the copy represented in the listing. When we have multiple copies in inventory, we will always ship the book that is in the BEST condition e.g. you may be expecting a book with an inscription and small tear but receive one that is “like new”. Buyers who have provided Etsy their email address will be notified if there are significant differences between what is described/pictured at time of purchase and the actual copy being shipped. If any of these potential issues are particularly important to you, contact us prior to check-out for specific details about the copy immediately available.

If you don’t see the title you’re looking for, please check our categorized Little Golden Books listings, or special single titles. Alternatively, contact us for assistance; we purchase new inventory regularly, have many unlisted titles, and keep a list of customer requests to watch for while sourcing new items “in the wild”. We’re here to help.
