Little Golden Book Monday #179

Today's Little Golden Book is Disney's Planes: Fire & Rescue. It took me a few minutes to realize that is actually the second Planes movie. I had to google it to realize this was the second movie based on the Disney Planes. I then tried really hard to remember anything about the first one, but could remember nothing. I'm not even 100% sure I saw it. There is a good chance I saw it, as I have a cheap theatre in my neighbourhood and usually see movies like this, once they have been out a while and end up at the cheap theatre, but no mater how much I try, I can't remember a thing about Planes #1. I play a game on the DVD Weekly Podcast Face Book page called Over, Under where they give the predicted numbers for a couple of films coming out and you have to say whether it will be over or under that number on opening weekend. I did say over for Planes: Fire & Rescue, only because I believe people will go see it because it has the Disney name on it, but I am not betting that it will be any good. I did like the artwork in the book, but didn't pay too much to the story as I will probably go to see this one when it shows up at the cheap theatre. I'll pay my $4 to see the film, and then promptly forget I saw it.

Today's Little Golden Book is Fearless Firemoose! starring Rocky & Bullwinkle, with guest star Mr. Peabody. This is really a Rock & Bullwinkle story, with Mr. Peabody tossed in to play off of any synergy there may have been from the release of the Mr. Peabody and Sherman movie that came out back in March, 2014.
Along with the front cover, I've scanned the back cover which says "There are mroe than 200 timeless Little Golden Books to share. Here are just a few of them. How many have you read?"

Little Golden Books Monday #177

I received my copy of the Disney Editions book "The Art of the Disney Golden Books" by Charles Solomon today from Amazon, and I can happily say it was worth the $24.95 I spent for it (the cover price is $35). It is a large sized hard cover book with 160 pages full of amazing artwork and information and stories to go along with it. Here are a few photos of the book to give you an idea of what is inside. The last photo is of my son checking out all the photos throughout the book.  He especially liked the photo on page 14 that showed Walt in a promotional photo sharing the Dumbo book with a couple of dogs.
If, like me, you are a fan of Disney and Little Golden Books, then this book is a MUST have!

Little Golden Book Monday #176

Hello... I'm back after a long absence. For todays return to Little Golden Book Monday, I present Little Golden Books Board Game. This is something I saw two or three Christmases ago but didn't pick it up the day I saw it. Sadly I didn't see it again until just before Christmas this year. This time I picked it up as soon as I saw it in the shop window!

Although this is not actually a Little Golden Book, but does come with miniature Little Golden Books as part of the game. Here is the description of the game on the back of the box: Spin the spinner and travel around the game board featuring your favourite Little Golden Books characters. If you land on one of the special spaces you might have to 'bark' like the Poky Little Puppy, 'toot' like Tootle, 'meow' like The Shy Little Kitten, or 'splash' like Scuffy The Tugboat! Be the first player to collect all four of the Little Golden Books tokens to win!

We have already played the game a number of times, sadly, I have come in last every time.
