Tiny hardcover books with big classic stories — palm-sized, beautifully illustrated, and nearly impossible to find after 75 years.
Samuel Lowe's Lolly Pop Books were published in 1949 by James & Jonathan Co. of Kenosha, Wisconsin — a rare, charming series of miniature hardcovers featuring beloved fairy tales and nursery classics. At just 3.75 × 4.75 inches, they fit in a coat pocket or a child's hand. Each title is a single individual book sold separately; select your title from the dropdown.
Available titles:
Henny Penny
Three Little Kittens
Cinderella (more tanning than others; priced accordingly)
Funny Animals
On the Chug Chug Train
The Kitten Book
Little Red Riding Hood
The Little Miller and His Friends
A lovely gift for a fairy tale collector, a vintage children's book enthusiast, or anyone who loves the idea of a story small enough to carry in a pocket.
