Little Golden Book Favorites #1, Vol. 1 Book

I personally enjoyed the illustrations. The artwork is very lovely and helped guide along the story.
My 5 (soon to be 6 year old) son enjoys this book greatly. I'm not a big fan of the stories, but the second (Scuffy the Tugboat) and third (The Saggy Baggy Elefant) stories are much better than the first (The Poky Little Puppy).

The first sorry is 'The Poky Little Puppy' is about five puppies that dig a hole under a fence multiple times when they are told not to. When the puppies come home they are sent to bed without dinner negate they were naughty, but the fifth puppy always comes home after the other four puppies have gone to sleep and eats the dinner. After this happens a few times the puppies fill up the hole and are caught doing so, because they did something good they got to eat their dinner. However the last puppy goes to bed hungry and feeling sorry for himself because he didn't get back in time before the other puppies closed up the hole.

The second story is 'Scuffy the Tugboat'. It's about a toy tugboat that believes he's meant for bigger things than a life in a toy store or bathtub. He sees our on an adventure on a river in spring with the help of a man and his son. Scuffy sees things and experiences things that other tugboat toys don't. at the end, he misses the man and his son and is content with just sailing from one end of the bathtub to the other.

The third sorry is 'The Saggy Baggy Elephant'. It's about an elephant named Sooki who was happy with himself till a parrot came along and laughed at him and made fun of him. He tried to change himself and almost got eaten every time. Eventually he sees other elephants who tell him he's perfect the way he is and Sooki is happy once again.
