Card of the Week
This joyful card is both one of our most popular birthday cards AND our reigning best-selling Little Golden card! It features illustrations by one of our favorite illustrators, Garth Williams, and we adapted it from the pages of Mister Dog (1952) by Margaret Wise Brown. Did you read this fun book as a kid, or perhaps read it to your own kids?
And, like all our Little Golden Books greeting cards, it comes with a golden envelope for an extra touch of charm!
