This is simply the most darling children's book! Titled "Susie's New Stove," it was published in 1950 by Simon and Schuster. I've never seen a Little Golden Book that features an actual toy available for purchase in the story. However, in this book, Susie cooks on a "Little Chef" made by Tacoma Metal Products. Susie's stove is electric, has a plug and can really cook food.
In the story, written by Annie North Bedford, Susie gets creative in her toy kitchen with her brother Mike. Or sometimes she invites her friend Carol over for a culinary play date. The author includes a page on cooking safety along with easy little recipes for things like cocoa, scrambled egg, frozen vegetables, boiled frankfurter, canned soup and more.
With charming illustrations by Corinne Malvern, this hardcover book has the letter "A" on the back cover which indicates it is a first edition. In very good condition with some shelf wear and rubbing to the cover's corners. There is heavier wear on the spine where a section of the binding edge is missing (shown in the last photo). The interior pages are very clean with a few light pencil marks on the title page. Measuring 6.75 by 8 inches, this book is signed by the original owner on the inside front cover.
