Row, Peterson and Company also published the Alice & Jerry "Golden Anniversary Books" in 1957, these books can be identified by a gold seal on the title page. These are considered "special collectibles" by many, and were printed as their 50th publishing year.

The adorable Alice and Jerry Reading Program (with Jip also!) was written mainly by Mabel O'Donnell and Alice Carey. They were beautifully illustrated by Margaret and Florence Hoopes. Many of us remember the stories from this reading program, such stories like; On the Farm, Home Again, The Pet Show, The Blue Ribbon, The Toy Mender, The Broken Doll, The Tune Box, The Twins (Bobby & Billy), At the Farm, The Ride to the City, Six Little Wild Ducks, Winter at Blue Barns, The Pool in the Woods, Winter Is Coming, Little Frog, Grandfather Frog, Mother Deer and Her Baby, Paddy and His Pets, Ting-a-ling, and many more.

This reading program ran about the same duration as the Dick and Jane books, from about 1936 to 1966. The Wonder-Story Books, also published by Row, Peterson and Company were supplemental readers.
