Whitman Publishing, a subsidiary of Western Publishing, published the Tell-a-Tale books from 1945 to 1984. Since 1985, they have been called Golden Tell-a-Tale books. Paperback versions have also been published under the Merrigold imprint. The Tell-a-Tale books started in 1945 with the number 850 on Poor Kitty. Around 1952, when the numbers reached 899, someone wondered why they had not started with 800. So they went back and numbered 800-848. They continued with 900-966 through 1954. They then numbered 2500 through 2600 into the 1970s. Since 1955, more than one title may have the same number.
