Little Golden Books - For Today's World


Little Golden Books - For Today's World

Remember 'Little Golden Books' from when you were a kid?  Those classic books with the golden spined covers full of wonderful stories and illustrations? They're actually still around, and I've picked up a few for Essley to add to the collection of them that I still have from my own childhood.  Recently, I came across some information about an exhibit at a Los Angeles area gallery called Gallery Nucleus that featured 'Little Golden Books' inspired works based on popular movies, television shows, people, and characters.  Seriously though, how cool are these?!  My favorites are 'Breaking Bad Cover' by Maxime Mary and 'Little Moonrise Kingdom' by Jerrod Maruyama.   The 'Young John Muir' by Israel Sanchez is pretty cool too.

The exhibit ended last month, but some of the pieces of art are still available for sale on Gallery Nucleus' website.  Which one is your favorite?

I have to give a quick shout-out to little sister Morgan, who is celebrating a birthday today.  Happy Birthday Sissy!  Essley also officially turns 3 months old today.  Today is a good day!

    Wait, can I actually buy those?! The Breaking Bad one would be a hilarious gift for my husband.

      They are all originals and the BB ones are sold. :( I wish they were prints though!

    Hahaha those Breaking Bad ones are awesome!!! Would have also loved to get my hands on one. I also love collecting LGBs for my son, I think they are really special.
    Also, I can't believe Essley is 3 months already, time flies by so fast!!

    Happy Birthday to your sister, and Happy 3 months for little Essley. =0)

    That gallery would be so fun to go to and see in person, but you showcasing some of the work will just have to do. How fun are those?

    I have some Little Golden Books from when I was little too. And I have some newer additions as well.

    Have a great weekend!

      Aww, I missed the part where you said it ended last month. I do like that Goonies one, and my boys would probably think that one's cool. =0)
      It looks like they sold quite a bit!

    Oh my gosh, how fun! I had a huge collection of Little Golden Books when I was a kid but I hadn't thought about them for years - this post brought back fond memories and this funny take on them really made me smile. I love the Goonies one best, I think :)
