Product Description
The Happy Golden ABC, illustrated by Joan Allen. A Little Golden Book, no. 344, Copyright 1972 by Golden Press, Western Publishing, Racine Wisconsin. Second printing, 1973. Hardcover book, 24 pages.
Plot summary: The book is designed to teach young children the alphabet and follows a straightforward and repetitive structure for early learning: it progresses from A to Z, dedicating a page or a two-page spread to each letter of the alphabet. For each letter, there is a large, colorful illustration featuring an animal or object whose name starts with that letter. A simple, rhyming couplet or short sentence accompanies the illustration, connecting the letter to the picture. Its bright, cheerful, and vintage illustrations, which are engaging for young readers, help children with letter recognition and to associate each letter with a corresponding sound and word in a fun, happy, and memorable way.
Condition: The book is in overall good condition. The back cover's top left corner is damaged with a 1/4" piece of the corner tip missing and roughness on that corner's edges. The inside pages have small dogear creases on the top right corners. The book has a name written inside the front cover in the "this book belongs to" space (see photos).
