The ‘Best in Children’s Books’ series was released through the Doubleday Book Clubs from 1957 to the late 1960s. In total, there were 42 volumes published. The number of each volume is not indicated on the external binding, but can be found only via a very small number on the bottom right of the title page or on the back flap of the dust jacket. Each book was issued with a full color dust jacket, but the volumes are much more commonly found without the dust jacket. Each volume has a different collection of images on the spine, drawn from from some of the main stories in the volumes, to enable children to quickly select their favorite story from the shelf. Each volume contained a mix of classics, non-fiction, and also new stories.
