It鈥檚 currently at number three on the Hardcover Nonfiction IndieBound list for the week of Sept. 11. and has been at first, second, and third place frequently on that same list for the past year.
called the first book 鈥渁 fun and entertaining walk down memory lane,鈥� while wrote that it鈥檚 an 鈥渙ptimistic and cheering trip down memory lane,鈥� though mentioned its 鈥渜uaint period values鈥� with 鈥渧iews of apron-wearing housewives and pipe-smoking men (or bears) to, with but two exceptions, an all-white cast of humans. Furthermore, despite the title's implication, the exhortations don't always reflect the original story's lesson or theme鈥�; however, the publication called the book 鈥渃hicken soup for fans of Golden Books,鈥� which Kirkus Reviews said were 鈥渇ondly remembered.鈥�
