The Good Humor Man (Little Golden Book)

Summary: Good Humor Great Humor
Review: From the catalog of Little Golden Books. One of the really delightful books they put out in the 60's. The illustrations are the best and harken back to a simplier time. The charming story that will bring a smile to your face. Little Golden has such a wonderful back catalog I wish they'd get on the stick and start reprinting some of these gems from the 40's/50's. Especially from the illustrator of Corrine Malvern. A nice addition to your collection.

Summary: Follow the Good Humor Man as he delivers ice cream
Review: Such a sweet story for children. The story and the pictures have a real "old fashioned" classic feel. It tells of the daily trek of the Good Humor Man as he delivers ice cream and cheer to the town of Fun Valley. My son loved the character "Johnny Slow-Poke" and his fat little puppy--always late to get their ice cream.

Summary: My toddler's favorite book!
Review: Ting-a-ling-a-ling...here comes the Good Humor Man, indeed! A simple, happy, well-illustated story that harkens back to a more innocent and carefree time. My 22-month old has to have it read to her everyday, and I love to oblige! A wonderful and wholesome alternative to the crass fare that passes for modern children's fiction, The Good Humor Man, while not conveying any serious, didactic message, nonetheless provides a positive outlook simply by being sweet and fun. Take yourself--and your children--back to a time where an afternoon visit by the ice cream man in the neighborhood was special and full of comarederie and cheer.
