Conducting a nostalgic trip through dozens of children's book illustrations of the mid 20th century, longtime Golden Books editor Diane Muldrow styles this album as a Little Golden Book—right down to the gold foil spine and sunny yellow endpapers—while captioning them with gentle advice on how best to live a life. Today's a new day!, say Eloise Wilkin's round-cheeked youngsters, and you can Have some pancakes and Get some exercise with Tibor Gergely's animals, then Frolic with Tootle the flower-strewn engine, Daydream with a girl drawn by Mary Blair, or join a Richard Scarry rabbit to Bird-watch.
