Iconic Beginnings: Mickey Mouse is the beloved cartoon character created by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks in 1928. He first appeared in the animated short "Steamboat Willie," which was one of the earliest cartoons to feature synchronised sound and became an instant sensation.

Global Icon: Mickey quickly became the face of the Walt Disney Company and one of the most recognisable characters in the world. Known for his cheerful personality, red shorts, and iconic ears, Mickey has starred in countless films, television series, and comics over the decades.

Adventurous Spirit: Throughout his history, Mickey has taken on many roles and adventures, from sorcerer's apprentice to space explorer, always approaching new challenges with optimism, curiosity and a can-do attitude.

Timeless Appeal: Nearly a century after his debut, Mickey Mouse remains a beloved figure for children and adults alike, symbolising the magic and imagination that Disney has brought to generations of fans worldwide.

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.

Enduring Partnership: Mickey Mouse and other Disney characters have been part of the Little Golden Books line since almost the very beginning, making this a long-standing and much-loved partnership that continues to introduce Disney magic to young readers.

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.
