Thank you, Kathleen. We also got this book series in Norway. Published by a social democratic publisher and translated by a young proletarian writer, Alf Prøysen, who became a legend and a common property for both children and adults, as a writer and singer-songwriter. The CIA seems to have been everywhere here with us, through the extensive Marshall Plan after WW2.
Thanks for the reminder about Little Golden Books, being from the Midwest, they were plentiful in my childhood. Although "The Pokey Little Puppy" was there too, dinosaurs, wooly mammoths and space rockets may have figured more than puppies in those I received, there was even one on minerals and geology.

The videos of the story of the Little Golden Books is fascinating. I had no idea there was such a long history behind them.
