LITTLE PEOPLE BOOK CATEGORIES
The Little People work books and coloring books were a very
popular theme and several were made. Some told stories and others had
educational themes such as math, beginning sounds, and different types of
animals. Most of them came with extra stickers and tear-out pictures for added
fun.
Then there were the Shape Books based on various characters. At
least four were made: Meet Timmy, Meet Penny, Meet Lucky, and Meet Baby. The
first three are pictured below.
Many soft back Little People books were created which told
stories or had poems. Some were ordinary books to be read, but others had
stickers to place on the pages, or an audio cassette to read along with.
Some hard back Little People books were made that taught about
life lessons such as safety and manners.
The Look And Play Books took creativity to a whole new level by
including a Little Person toy whose theme went with the story book.
Like the Little People Look And Play Books, the Fisher Price
Classic Book and Toy packages also included a story book with a matching toy.
Technically, these were not "Little People" books since all of the toys were not
Little People related and the stories themselves were not about the Little
People, but rather reissues of classic Golden Books. However, the set below came
with the #2299 Fire Engine which had its own built in Little Person head and
between Fisher Price and Golden Books, these sets were classics in every sense
of the word.
