Series: Everything I Need to Know... by Diane Muldrow

Excellent remembrances of pages from Little Golden Books and the lessons they told, but this time written for adults!

A humorous "guide to life" for grown-ups! One day, Diane Muldrow, a longtime editor of the iconic Little Golden Books, realized that, despite their whimsical appearance, there was hardly a real-life situation that hadn't been covered in the more than 70-year-old line of children's books -- from managing money, to the importance of exercise, to finding contentment in the simplest things. In this age of debt, depression, and diabetes, could we adults use a refresher course in the gentle lessons from these adorable books, she wondered -- a "Little Golden guide to life"? Yes, we could! 

Muldrow's humorous yet practical tips for getting the most out of life,  drawn from more than 60 stories, are paired with delightful images from these best-loved children's books of all time -- The pictures are selected from stories such as We Help Mommy, Five Pennies to Spend, Tootle, The Three Bears, The Saggy Baggy Elephant, The Musicians of Bremen, Baby's First Book, The Poky Little Puppy, Pantaloon, Mister Dog, Nurse Nancy, Open Up My Suitcase, A Day on the Farm, The Color Kittens, The Tawny Scrawny Lion, The Little Red Hen, and Little Boy With a Big Horn
