Halloween Origins: Halloween has its roots in the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, when people would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off ghosts. The tradition evolved over centuries into the modern celebration we know today.

Trick-or-Treating: The practice of trick-or-treating developed from ancient traditions where people would go door-to-door asking for food or money during festivals. In America, this became associated with Halloween in the early 20th century.

Educational Value: This Little Golden Book teaches children important Halloween etiquette and safety tips, including proper behaviour when trick-or-treating, saying thank you, and sharing with family.

Family Traditions: Halloween has become a beloved family holiday that brings communities together, creating lasting memories for children and parents alike through costume preparation, decorating, and neighbourhood adventures.

Halloween Safety Tips: The book introduces young children to important Halloween safety concepts in an age-appropriate way.

Stay with Parents: The story shows Nick and Toby trick-or-treating with their parents, emphasising the importance of adult supervision.

Politeness Matters: The book teaches children to say "thank you" when receiving treats and to only take one piece of candy when a bowl is left out.

Costume Safety: The story shows how to choose appropriate costumes that are fun but also safe for walking and visibility.

Sharing and Family: The book emphasises the joy of sharing Halloween candy with family members, making it a bonding experience.

Revolutionary Beginning: When Little Golden Books were first published in 1942, high-quality books for children hadn't been available at a price most people could afford. Little Golden Books changed that! Priced at just 25 cents and sold where people shopped every day, they caused an instant sensation and were soon purchased by the hundreds of thousands.

Influential Illustrators: Several of its illustrators later became influential within the children's book industry, including Corinne Malvern, Tibor Gergely, Gustaf Tenggren, Feodor Rojankovsky, Richard Scarry, Eloise Wilkin, and Garth Williams.

Diverse Content: Many books in the Little Golden Books series deal with nature, science, Bible stories, nursery rhymes, and fairy tales. Christmas titles are published every year.

Popular Characters: Some Little Golden Books and related products have featured popular characters from other media, such as Disney, Looney Tunes, The Muppets, Sesame Street, Sonic the Hedgehog, Barbie, Power Rangers, Thomas the Tank Engine, and others.

Holiday Traditions: The line regularly publishes seasonal books that help children understand and participate in holiday traditions, including Halloween, Christmas, Easter, and other celebrations.

Original Partnership: The series started with publishing firm Simon & Schuster; Western Printing and Lithographing Company in Racine, Wisconsin was Simon & Schuster's partner in the Little Golden Books venture, with Western handling print operations. Ownership and control of the series have changed several times since; today, Penguin Random House is its current publisher.

Consistent Quality: Despite the changes of detail that occurred over the years, the Little Golden Books maintains a distinctive appearance. A copy of The Poky Little Puppy bought today is essentially the same as one printed in 1942. Both are readily recognisable as Little Golden Books. At the time of the series' golden anniversary in 1992, Golden Books claimed that a billion and a half Little Golden Books had been sold.
