The Poky Little Puppy - Book

The Poky Little Puppy was written by Janette Sebring Lowrey and illustrated by Gustaf Tenggren. It was first published in 1942 as one of the first twelve Little Golden Books, the eighth release in the series, and it has become the top-selling children's book of all time in the United States.

Tenggren, a Swedish-born artist, had been a chief illustrator at Walt Disney in the late 1930s, and his warm, detailed pictures are a big part of the book's appeal. This is the classic hardcover Little Golden Book edition, sized for small hands and a natural pick for a first library or a grandparent's gift.
