    The Poky Little Puppy, by Janette Sebring Lowrey. Read by Susan Gregory
    A poky little puppy loves to dig holes under the fence despite what his family says. But the poky little puppy digs one hole too many and ends up missing dessert

    Scuffy the Tugboat, by Gertrude Crampton. Read by Skip Hinnant
    Meant for “bigger things,” Scuffy the Tugboat sets off on a daring adventure to explore the world but realizes that home is where he’d rather be, sailing in his bathtub.

    Tawny Scrawny Lion, by Kathryn Jackson. Read by Skip Hinnant
    Once there was a tawny scrawny lion that was always hungry, until he met 10 little rabbits who taught him how to eat carrot stew–instead of them!

    The Saggy Baggy Elephant, by K. and B. Jackson. Read by Susan Gregory
    After a parrot makes fun of Sooki’s big ears, long nose, and wrinkled skin, the “saggy baggy” elephant isn’t too sure of himself–until he meets some beautiful creatures that look and dance just like him.
    Gertrude Crampton (1909-1996) wrote the beloved classic Little Golden Books Tootle (published in 1945) and Scuffy the Tugboat (published in 1946), both of which have never been out of print. Crampton was born in New York in 1909, and studied at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. She died in 1996. View titles by Gertrude Crampton
    JANETTE SEBRING LOWREY (1892-1986), a Texan, wrote mostly teen fiction during the 1940s and 1950s. Her young adult novel Margaret was adapted into a TV serial, Walt Disney Presents: Annette, which aired on The Mickey Mouse Club in 1958, starring Annette Funicello. But Lowrey is best known as the author of The Poky Little Puppy, which was one of the original twelve Little Golden Books that launched in 1942. It went on to become an icon, and the bestselling picture book of all time. View titles by Janette Sebring Lowrey
    Kathryn Jackson wrote hundreds of lively, witty stories for Golden Books, most of which were coauthored with her husband, Byron. The Saggy Baggy Elephant is one of the pair's most famous titles. Golden Books that Kathryn Jackson wrote on her own include Tawny Scrawny Lion, Nurse Nancy, Pantaloon, Richard Scarry's The Animals' Merry Christmas, and Richard Scarry's A Story a Day: 365 Stories and Rhymes.
