Two Little Miners
1949
Illustrated by Richard Scarry (1919–1994)

Richard Scarry’s images of the two little miners highlighted and celebrated the life of the everyday working man. Many Little Golden Books explored the occupations thought of as essential to civil society— fireman, policeman, mailman—and encouraged children to observe, identify, and admire them.
