Fast forward another 30 years and my own kid loved it. 40 years later, The Poky Little Puppy was one of my favourite books as a preschooler and when I told my mother this, she said it had been my Auntie Sue’s absolute favourite as well. Parents were wanting something light and playful for themselves and for their children, no doubt.
This story was one of the first 12 Little Golden Books, first published in 1942, a big year in general for the world.
The Poky Little Puppy is a classic Little Golden Book by Texas writer Janette Sebring Lowrey, illustrated by Gustav Tenngren.
