The Big Little Books, first published during 1932 by the Whitman Publishing Company of Racine, Wisconsin, were small, compact books designed with a captioned illustration opposite each page of text. Other publishers, notably Saalfield, adopted this format after Whitman achieved success with its early titles, priced initially at 10¢ each, later rising to 15¢.

Peu onéreux, ces ouvrages ont rapidement rencontré un grand succès, ce qui a conduit de nombreux éditeurs à imiter ce modèle, et Whitman à renommer en 1938 sa collection Better Little Book. (fr)
