Produced before comic books, and just the right size for children to hold, these affordable, small stories began brightening the lives of Americans during the Great Depression and through WW II.
Familiar heroes from comic strips, radio shows, and later, film and television, came to life in these tiny treasures. Big Little Books made reading accessible to kids everywhere. Revisit the classic adventures of Tarzan, Little Lulu, Popeye and more.
Curated from the Bienes Museum of the Modern Book.
